Here is another favorite. But only good on a bulk. It's hard to calculate macros but delicious and healthy!
A basic pesto consist of:
Basil
Parsley
Garlic
Evo
Pine nuts
Parmesan.
What I do Is make a batch which could yield easily 20 portions depending on what u do with it. and toss whole wheat pasta In it. You can crust chicken. Or even top anything with it as a sauce. My fav meal! Can eat it with shrimp, steak, chicken, lean ground.
Couple twist to do to it. Use arugula or even spinach instead of herbs. And u can easily sub any nut for the pine nuts. I always use almonds.
Start by toasting nuts.
Chopp which ever greens u are gonna use. Not much chopping needed. Add to your blender but food processor ten times easier.
Add nuts, parm and garlic to your greens.
Process or blend to a paste.
And Evo as its blending to desired thickness or consistency. If you need measurement just google. But truly a healthy addition to any bulk meal.
