In a food processor, combine the fresh basil, garlic, raw cashews, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, and olive oil. Process until smooth, adding a few tablespoons of water if necessary to achieve a creamy, pesto-like consistency.
Season the pesto with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve immediately, or chill briefly in the refrigerator if you prefer a colder dish.
