 We are lovin' Oh She Glows recipes lately...here is some cheese and pesto sauce for an incredible vegan pizza night.

Vegan Parmesan Cheese
• 1/2 cup toasted sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Directions: Preheat oven to 350F. Toast sesame seeds in the oven until golden and then throw all ingredients into a blender. Process for 30-60 seconds. Enjoy your vegan Parmesan cheese!

Vegan Pesto
Ingredients:
• 2/3 cup of my Vegan Parmesan Cheese (see above)
• 6 tbsp raw cashews
• 4 cups fresh basil, stems trimmed off and roughly chopped
• Juice of 1 fresh lemon (approx 2 tbsp)
• 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
• Two small handfuls of fresh spinach
• 4-5 cloves garlic
• 1 tsp sea salt
Directions: In a food processor, add the cashews and oil and process until smooth. Now throw in the garlic, Parmesan, and fresh lemon juice and process more. Add in the basil and spinach and
process until smooth. This will make enough for about two crusts.

There should be left over pesto to dip crust in or to freeze for future pizza heaven!
