Creamy Sage Pesto Sauce

Recipes

A bounty of sage in our indoor garden inspired a meal using this sauce with whole wheat pasta spirals, zucchini, and pre-soaked and cooked white beans.  While the pasta was boiling, I cooked the zucchini in a pan with a little olive oil and added the white beans, pasta and sauce.  You can also add some Parmesan Replacer on top if you have some around.

Ingredients

1/2 cup hemp seeds
1 cups fresh sage leaves, firmly packed
1/2 cup Italian parsley
1/4 cup garlic (about one small head)
1 teaspoon salt
Juice of one lemon
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
1/2 cup olive oil

Directions

Process all ingredients except olive oil in food processor until smooth.  Slowly drizzle in olive oil while processor is running.  Process until creamy.  The sauce will be a pastel green color.  Add to pasta or application of your choice.  This sauce tastes pretty good straight from the finger, too.
