5 Minute Garlic-Free Pesto Sauce (Low FODMAP)
This low FODMAP pesto is both garlic free and delicious - yes it's possible to be both! It's also quick to whip up in 5 minutes in a high-powered blender or food processor - you can't beat the convenience! I love to serve this no-garlic pesto as a sauce with all kinds of different low FODMAP foods, and it even freezes well to use at a later time. I personally like to use it as a Low FODMAP pasta sauce!
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup packed basil leaves
- 3 tbsp walnut pieces
- 1/4 cup green onions (green tops only)
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese grated
- 1.5 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil or garlic-infused oil
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to the bowl of a food processor or high speed blender. Blend on high until mostly smooth with some small chunks. You may find you need to stop to scrape down the sides of the blender during this process.
- Serve with your favourite low FODMAP foods - try it spread on a sandwich or served with some brown rice pasta. Enjoy!
Notes
Optional adjustments:
- Love spice? Try adding some diced jalapeno in!
- For a more complex flavour, try adding some sundried tomatoes. A serving of 3 sun-dried tomatoes per person is considered low FODMAP.
- Want to make this pesto dairy free? Replace the parmesan cheese with nutritional yeast instead.
