When you say you're not supposed to eat nuts, does that include peanuts
and soy which are botanically not like pine nuts, walnuts, pecans or
almonds? I've made a tolerably good pesto with tofu and miso, but
really if you want a good topping for pasta or pizza, just leave out the
nuts and cut down on the oil. Chopped basil with garlic and romano is
great on pasta and pizza.
