Ginger Free Garlic Scallion Fresh Herb Pesto

This vibrant, herb-forward pesto is the kind of sauce that makes everything it touches taste more alive. Packed basil and flat-leaf parsley form a lush green base, while scallion greens add a mild, fresh allium note that plays beautifully alongside the garlic. Raw sunflower seeds give the sauce body and a subtle nuttiness, and fresh ricotta makes it creamy without weighing it down — the result is silky, bright, and a little luxurious. Many store-bought pestos and spice blends sneak in ginger or ginger-adjacent ingredients, so making your own from scratch is the cleanest way to stay confident about what's in the jar. The food processor does all the heavy lifting here, and the whole thing comes together in just a few pulses. Toss it with pasta, spread it on crusty bread, dollop it over roasted vegetables, or use it as a dipping sauce — it's endlessly versatile. Make a batch, press plastic wrap against the surface to keep it vivid green, and you've got a go-to condiment ready to elevate the week's meals.
