Pumpkin Seed Pesto Sauce

A delicious Italian sauce! Surprise your loved ones! I try out my culinary "experiments" on my family, and their gratitude is the best praise for me. I tried making everyone's favorite pesto with pumpkin seeds — my family was simply delighted! It comes together very quickly and easily. I use it as a dressing for pasta, and the kids just spread it on bread. It's a great sauce for vegetables, meat, and fish.

    1. Wash the parsley and separate the leaves from the stems. 2. You'll need toasted pumpkin seeds for the sauce; I toast them dry, without oil, for a few minutes. 3.

The sauce is ready. Enjoy!
