Parsley Pumpkin Seed Pesto

Pesto comes from the northern part of Italy. It is traditionally made with basil, garlic,

lemon, pine nuts, cheese, and olive oil. This parsley pumpkin seed pesto is a variation on the classic. Parsley is used instead of basil, pumpkin seeds instead of pine nuts, and there is no cheese added. This sauce is so fresh and flavorful and requires no cooking. Whip it up in 5 minutes and use in on pasta, rice, to top soups with, or in salads.
