Rice 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, grassy bite that sets this version apart from anything you'd find in a jar at the grocery store. Raw sunflower seeds replace the traditional pine nuts, giving the pesto a subtly nutty depth and a pleasantly coarse texture that clings beautifully to whatever you're serving it with. Fresh ricotta is the real secret weapon here — it lends a creamy, slightly tangy richness that makes the whole thing feel luxurious without being heavy. The food processor does all the work in just a few minutes, and the result is a sauce that's bright, garlicky, and deeply satisfying. It's naturally free of any grain-based fillers or thickeners, so what you get is pure, clean flavor from start to finish. Spoon it over roasted vegetables, grilled proteins, or use it as a bold spread — it's endlessly versatile and genuinely hard to stop eating.
