Vegan Pesto Cavatelli is a plant-based pasta recipe yielding 2 to 4 servings. The dish pairs sautéed cherry tomatoes and garlic with cavatelli tossed in a vibrant basil pesto. The pesto blends basil, olive oil, almonds, garlic, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes in a high-speed blender. The pasta is cooked in salted boiling water and combined with two cups of the prepared pesto. A crunchy macadamia 'Parmigiano' garnish combines raw macadamia nuts, nutritional yeast, and sea salt. Leftover pesto stores in an airtight jar in the refrigerator.
