Recipe Notes

*For those intolerant to dairy products, Parmesan cheese aged at least 22 months can be used because it is naturally lactose-free.
For vegans, nutritional yeast can be used instead of Parmesan cheese.

Alternatively, the pesto can be kept in the freezer in an airtight container for a few months. 🙂
