Pesto is one of the easiest things to make, and it can dress up not only pasta but roasted root vegetables or a wrap. Try it on top of creamy squash soup as well. This recipe uses zinc-rich pumpkin seeds instead of the traditional pine nuts.
Pumpkin Seed Pesto
¾ cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
1 large clove garlic, chopped
⅓ cup toasted pumpkin seeds
Non-dairy parmesan to taste
⅓ cup olive oil
Sea salt to taste
Optional: nutritional yeast, black pepper
Place everything in a food processor and blend until desired consistency. I like to leave it slightly chunky rather than totally smooth. Enjoy!
