Steps:
- Wash and prep the basil: First, make sure to clean your basil by placing it in a bowl of water and swirling around with your hand to clean off of any dirt. Once clean, lay your basil flat to dry or spin it in a salad spinner.
- Blend the greens, pepitas, garlic, and oil: Next pulse the basil in a food processor with the pepita and garlic cloves. Process until finely chopped, then continue to pulse while drizzling in olive oil. You should use enough oil for the ingredients to be well coated.
- Add nutritional yeast, spices, and lemon juice: Finally, add in nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper. Taste and add more as needed.

PUMPKIN SEED PESTO
Steps:
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large heavy skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then cook pumpkin seeds with salt and pepper to taste, stirring constantly, until seeds are puffed and beginning to pop (some will brown, but do not let all of them), about 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Transfer to a plate and cool completely.
- Pulse seed mixture in a food processor with water, cilantro, scallions, and remaining 4 tablespoons oil until mixture forms a coarse paste (not finely ground). Transfer to a bowl and stir in lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:
- Scoop pumpkin into a medium sized pot, add orange juice and butter, and simmer over medium heat.
- Stir in the pesto sauce (you can add less, if it is especially strong), the chardonnay, basil, and garlic.
- Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring often.
- Stir in the red pepper flakes and chicken broth (you can also add more orange juice and chicken broth, a tablespoon at a time, if the sauce is too thick).
- Season with salt and pepper, turn the heat to low, and cook about 3 minutes.
- Turn the heat off, and stir in the Parmesan cheese. Stir in ground pepper to taste.
- Let sit for 5 minutes for the flavors to blend, and then serve.
- This is delicious with Walnut-Gorgonzolla tortellini and steamed edamame, topped with crushed Melba toast.
- This is my first posted recipe--be gentle with me!
PUMPKIN SEED PESTO
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Combine pumpkin seeds, Parmesan, and garlic in a food processor. Pulse on and off, for about 20 seconds, until seeds are almost ground.
- Add basil, parsley, lemon juice, and olive oil, and pulse on and off for about 40 seconds (you may want to scrape down the sides with a spatula in between pulses), until all ingredients are combined. The mixture should be more like a course paste than a liquefied sauce, so be careful not to overprocess.
- Transfer to a bowl or glass storage jar, taste, and adjust seasoning with salt. Be sure to taste, as the pumpkin seeds may have been well salted when they were roasted. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to two days.

BACON PUMPKIN AND PESTO PASTA
In this recipe, the ingredients are tossed into the pasta, rather than forming a sauce. Great for a quick and easy mid-week meal with salad. I use Kent or Jap pumpkin, available in Australia, and free-range bacon. You can make your own pesto, or buy it ready-made. I like the Sacla brand. Recipe adapted from "Australian Good Taste" magazine.

PUMPKIN SEED ARUGULA PESTO SAUCE (VEGAN)
A mouthwatering selection from ExtraVeganZa, posted as written that makes a nice change for pasta dishes and pizzas from the traditional basil and walnut pesto. Add some nutritional yeast for cheeziness factor since this lacks parmesan or asiago cheese.
