Parsley-Ginger Pesto Pasta with Marcona Almonds

This wildly simple, vegan pasta dish is delicious hot, though I love it cold, especially on a picnic. The Marcona almonds give the pesto a wonderfully creamy texture without a touch of dairy.

Toss it with whatever veggies you have around (shredded carrots and zucchinis work well), or serve it plain. This dish also works well with cilantro or mint in place of the parsley.
