Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the mint leaves and parsley. First roast the almonds and then the pumpkin seeds in a pan, then let them cool. Cook the spaghetti al dente.
  2. Chop the herbs, garlic, grated lemon zest, pumpkin seeds, almonds and parmesan in a blender and mix with half of the olive oil. Gradually add the rest of the olive oil in the blender while continuing to stir so that the pesto gets a creamy consistency. Finally, season with salt and pepper.
