Wash basil leaves and thoroughly dry by patting with paper towels. Place basil leaves and garlic into a food processor and pulse until the basil and garlic is finely chopped then slowly add the oil until well combined.
Add in the pine nuts, nutritional yeast, and lemon juice and process until the pesto is mostly pureed and well mixed.
Season to taste with salt and fresh ground black pepper and pulse a few times more.
