I love cooking with pesto, but if I'm out of green pesto, then I will happily revert to the red variety. My vegan pesto rosso is made with cashew nuts and pine nuts, which give the pesto a slightly cheesy note. This pesto naturally tastes amazing with pasta, but it can also be used to spread on bread or as a dip.
