1. In a food processor, add the fresh basil, Brazil nuts, peas, garlic, nutritional yeast flakes, salt, black pepper and lemon juice.
2. Pulse several times, scraping down the sides with a spatula.
3. Whilst the machine is running, slowly drizzle in the oil. This will make sure the oil combines well with the other ingredients and the pesto doesn’t split.
4. Scrape down the sides again.
5. To serve, stir through warm pasta, potatoes or gnocchi.
