2 cups packed kale , I like baby kale for a softer flavor
2 cups packed basil
½ cup vegan Parmesan cheese , make my recipe or use store bought
4 cloves garlic
¼- ½ cup veggie broth , low sodium if needed (see note)
Drizzle of olive oil see note
½ teaspoon sea salt , optional, you may not need this if you make my Parmesan recipe so taste first

Place ingredients into a food processor or blender and blend until pureed. Blend all the way for super smooth, or pulse for a more textured result.
Serve over pasta or any other meal

The basil helps balance out the flavor, but you can always do all kale if you prefer.
If you are oil free use more broth to get the consistency you want. I liked the flavor and texture with using a drizzle of oil and then adding about ¼ cup broth to get the texture I wanted. Adjust the oil and broth for your specific needs/preference.
This makes about 1 cup, serving size is ¼ cup.
Nutrition facts use my Parmesan cheese and no extra salt.
