Cooking instruction summary:

Boil water, add salt, then pasta. Cook according to package instructions. Pasta with grooves is best.Add sun-dried tomatoes, olive oil, basil, garlic and 2 Tbsp vegan parmesan cheese to a food processor or high speed blender and puree into a pesto-like consistency.If it has trouble mixing, add a bit of hot pasta water (2-3 Tbsp) to help encourage it along.
