Keto No Nut Broccoli Pesto

This healthy pesto sauce is super green and delicious! Heat it up and stir in heavy cream to make a cream sauce, or your can coat vegetables and proteins in the finished pesto. No nuts; just broccoli, peppery arugula, fresh garlic, and lots of parmesan!

The original recipe here makes about ¾ cup total.

      You absolutely can! You can turn this into a thicker sauce by heating it with cream or broth. Toss with zucchini noodles or hot protein or vegetables.
