Lupin Free Garlic Scallion Fresh Herb Pesto

Bright, garlicky, and loaded with fresh herb flavor, this pesto is the kind of sauce that makes everything it touches taste better. Packed basil and flat-leaf parsley form the green backbone, while scallion tops add a mild, grassy bite that feels a little unexpected and completely addictive. Sunflower seeds stand in for the more traditional pine nuts, giving the sauce a subtle nuttiness and creamy body without any legume-family ingredients — which matters a lot when you're navigating lupin-free eating, since lupin flour and seeds have a way of sneaking into store-bought sauces and condiments. Fresh ricotta rounds everything out with a gentle richness that makes this pesto feel luxurious without being heavy. The food processor does most of the work in just a few minutes, and the result is a sauce with real texture — not a smooth, featureless paste. Toss it with pasta, spread it on toast, swirl it into scrambled eggs, or spoon it over roasted vegetables; it's endlessly versatile. Make a jar at the start of the week and you'll find yourself reaching for it constantly.
