For a vegan option, substitute nutritional yeast for the Parmesan cheese. Toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat, shaking frequently, until golden brown and fragrant to bring out their flavor. If you want a smoother pesto, add more olive oil or vegetable broth, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. This pesto can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze it in ice cube trays for longer storage; thaw before using.
