This tofu-based, miso- and basil-flavored pesto is perfect to toss with hot pasta or whole grains. Or spread it on slices of whole wheat bread or crackers and serve alongside a tossed salad, too.

Method
Bring water to a boil in a sauce pan.
Add tofu and simmer over medium heat for 20 minutes; drain well.
Roast seeds in a heavy pan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they just begin to brown, about 5 minutes.
Combine basil, oil, miso and garlic in a food processor; process until a paste is formed, about 1 minute.
Add tofu and seeds; process again until smooth.
Chill at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
