A recipe from the cuisine, allowed in a / / diet.

Pesto is a sauce that originates from Italy, and comes in lots of variations, depending on the region. It usually consists of basil, garlic, pine nuts, and parmesan, all blended with olive oil. Our version is slightly different, because we’ve used lots of herbs, and replaced the pine nuts with almond flakes, and pumpkin seeds. The result is delicious, full of flavor, and we think it's definitely a keeper!
