Basil and cashew nut paste

This basil and cashew nut paste is a versatile ingredients in pasta sauces, gratins and also something I use for making my renowned vegan ravioli. It’s also divine on crackers with a glas of red wine.

The basil paste taste so much better if it get a chance to set overnight after you make it.
