Healthy spinach pesto (recipe) is a keto friendly food item with net carbohydrates of about 4-5 per serving.

Recipe instructions

  1. Add garlic and parsley to food processor and pulse until garlic is finely minced.
  2. Add tofu, spinach, lemon juice and sesame oil (if using) and process until smooth.
  3. Add salt and pepper to taste and parmesan (if using) and process until just mixed, tasting and adding more salt and pepper if needed.
  4. Toss with hot pasta (I like this with whole wheat linguini), and serve with crusty bread.
