Pine Nut Cream image

This recipe is from Veganomicon, and it is one of the steps in Isa's vegan version of Moussaka. However, this wonderful creamy blend is a great vegan substitute for Bechamel sauce. I particularly like to add this to baked pasta dishes, vegan lasagnas, or add a bit to make a regular tomato marinara sauce rich and creamy!
