Notes
Some ideas for alternatives:
You can adapt the seasoning: the type of cheese (or no cheese for a vegan version), nuts, oil. Let your creativity go wild!
The important thing is to taste as you go along, to adjust the seasoning if necessary and to make sure that you like the taste :) The pesto can have a fairly strong taste.
