Yasue's recipe🍃Gut healthy basil pasta sauce with a bit of Japanese taste

This recipe can easily make a delicious plant-based Italian-style basil pasta sauce made at home. Miso and nutritional yeast used instead of Parmigiano-Reggiano. It tastes just like cheese! And also, by adding a small amount of Fermented Green Papaya Enzyme into this sauce to combine miso and nutritional yeast , this can make a healthier meal that helps promote your gut health as a result of the synergies between the elements used in the recipe.

 

Ingredients

2 servings

15-20 minutes by hand

5-10 minutes by blender

• 20 g Basil leaves
• 20 g EV olive oil
• 15 g Pine nuts
• 1 tbsp Nutritional yeast
• 1 tsp Miso 
• 1 Garlic clove (about 2 g with the core removed)
• 1 g Sea salt
• 1 g Fermented Green Papaya Enzyme

 

Method

1. Remove basil leaves from stems then wash. Drain and blot up the remaining water with a kitchen towel.

2. Peel the garlic and cut off the root. Cut it in half then remove the core. Put it into a mortar and crush with a pestle. Add the pine nuts, crush and make a paste.

3. Add basil leaves and sea salt. Mash with the pestle to beat, then grind by rotating the pestle. Repeat this action to make a paste.

When the basil leaves are crushed and blended, add the miso and nutritional yeast, then stir until a smooth texture is reached.

4. Add the EV olive oil and Fermented Green Papaya Enzyme. Stir with the pestle to make a smooth sauce. Occasionally use a spoon to mix the ingredients stuck to the sides to help with the process.

Toss the freshly made sauce with cooked pasta and enjoy!
