Parmesan who? Sorry, we can't come to the phone right now.
There’s something about the combo of greens, toasted walnuts, and tahini here that will make you forget all about parmesan. This pesto is a fantastic vehicle for just about any green - spinach, arugula, kale, chard, even baby lettuces. With such assertive flavors, you don’t really need basil, but feel free to toss it in if you’ve got it. Tahini lends a creamy savoriness that mellows and rounds out any intensity that the greens and the walnuts bring. We love it on toast with a poached egg, but swirl it in risotto or toss it in pasta just like the old-school kind - it’s pretty much welcome wherever it goes.
