Avocado Pesto

I meant to add nutritional yeast flakes too, but forgot about it. It was late. :/ You can use this as a spread, a dip, a pasta sauce (probably best not to reheat it though)…the possibilities are endless! :D I didn’t have pine nuts (they’re morbidly expensive), so I subbed with cashews instead.
