Anyone can be the King of Pesto.

And I mean King in a gender neutral sense, in part because I'm reading Jayne County's Man Enough to Be A Woman right now and I truly feel that ANYONE can be the King of Pesto

you can also try nutritional yeast and cashews instead of parmesan and pine nuts and voilà, vegan pesto :)

The fall before Yael's birth, we have an absolute shit ton (this is an actual measurement) of basil. We couldn't keep up with it! When it started to get cold, we stripped every leaf off the plants and made massive amounts of pesto and pistou. We used pretty much the same recipe as you, except we used walnuts because we are cheap. Anyway, we froze the whole lot and had plenty of quick meals when the wee one arrived. Yum. I'm sure we'll do something similar this fall.

This is a very good idea. In fact, today, we bought these little sealable plastic cubes for freezing doses of pesto. We do not, however, yet have a shit tonne (let alone a METRIC shit tonne) of basil and I don't want to lean too hard on poor Basil World and wipe out the source of our pleasure.
