Vegan Pesto Pasta

Pesto is a sauce originating in Genoa in northern Italy ('pesto alla genovese'). Traditionally it consists of crushed garlic, basil and pine nuts, blended with olive oil and Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and Fiore Sardo (or pecorino sardo) cheese.

This recipe uses a variation of the classic pesto, made with coriander rather than basil and omitting the cheese.

2½ cups fresh coriander
6 Tbsps olive oil
