Homemade Pesto sauce and Mung bean Rotini with Veggies. 🥦🌱😋❤️

Hello everyone, hope your day is joyful so far!🤗

I love pesto sauce but I don’t like the way they usually make in the store by adding cheese so I made my own pesto sauce today and it is quite simple. Main ingredients are: fresh basils, kales, garlics, almonds, salt&peppers, chili powder and olive oil. All blended in food processor and jarred. It’s good for a month in the fridge. 😋👍

Lunch/dinner: Organic, gluten-free Mung bean rotini mixed with pesto sauce along with steamed broccoli and asparagus. I love chopped parsley and sesame seeds sprinkles on this too.

Dessert: Jasmine tea 🍵 and oatmeal cookie.🍪

As always, be inspired, be joyful, take a picture and Enjoy it! 😋❤️

Thank you very much Kainan, it is one of my favorite pasta dish when it comes to pesto sauce. 😋👍

We can never have enough greens, add as many as you can 😁

With the green theme, I’m thinking I’ll figure how to make matcha lava cake, gluten-free ofc 🤔

Hope you manage your lunch well today. 🤗

Subway sounds good to me and I won’t ask what’s in it 😂🤣😂👍

[Kainan Guest in reply to Hidden]

All fresh ingredients. I’m all about eating fresh

[Hidden in reply to Kainan]

Yes, freshly processed 😂. Did you get the raisin oatmeal cookie there too? 😁

[Kainan Guest in reply to Hidden]

No I did not get a cookie

[Hidden in reply to Kainan]

I used to go there many moons ago and I always got the tuna sandwich but they put so much mayonnaise in that so my highlight used to be that cookie. 😂👍

Looks like so much nutrition in this dish👍😁. Really impressive. Basil pesto sauce would be a wonderful addition to some of my meals so thanks for the idea. Much better than store bought sauces👍😁. Thanks for sharing 🤗🙏.

Thank you very much Zazenriver345! 🤗🙏

I love how this sauce turned out, it’s great when I don’t have to taste the Parmesan cheese they usually have in pesto sauce. Plus I can add more almond in there. 😋👍

Oh when you make it, pick the leaves from basils and kales, leave out the stems, don’t blend them all in. 😂

Enjoy your future meals with this sauce. 😋👍

[ZazenRiver345 in reply to Hidden]

I will remember to leave out the stems👍😂. They love to add in cheese to everything 🙄. Americans cant get enough 😂🤣.

[Hidden in reply to ZazenRiver345]

I just don’t like the typical smell n taste of Parmesan cheese. Actually I’m onto making my own Vegan cheese now, so simple…cashew milk, water and lemon juice. I need to get my cheese cloth filter though 😁👍

[ZazenRiver345 in reply to Hidden]

Excellent idea👌😁, Cant wait to see how it comes out👀. I'm sure it will be good 😊👍.

[Hidden in reply to ZazenRiver345]

I am planning to experiment making it this weekend after I finish helping my parents with some stuff. Will let you know how it turns out 😁👍
