Pumpkin Seed Arugula Pesto Sauce (Vegan) image

A mouthwatering selection from ExtraVeganZa, posted as written that makes a nice change for pasta dishes and pizzas from the traditional basil and walnut pesto. Add some nutritional yeast for cheeziness factor since this lacks parmesan or asiago cheese.

1 1/2 cups raw pepitas (green pumpkin seeds, toasted recommended)

  • Place the toasted seeds in a food processor and grind until fine.
  • Add the garlic and salt then pulse again.
  • While the food processor is running, add handfuls of arugula and parsley through the top opening of the machine.
  • Keep adding as these get blended in until all of the greens are incorporated.

  • You might have to stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the food processor.
  • Add more salt or oil to reach your desired flavor, then scoop the sauce into a jar, it will keep for about a week.
