How to Make Mushroom Pesto
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes.
- Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
- Transfer the mushroom and garlic mixture to a food processor.
- Add basil, Parmesan cheese, nutritional yeast, olive oil, salt, and pepper to the food processor.
- Process until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more olive oil if desired for a thinner consistency.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
