This pasta is the pest-o round! 🤤
Where are my pesto loving friends at!?! 🙋🏼♀️
I’m super excited to share one of my favorite pesto recipes with you. It’s full of bold flavors and it’s a gorgeous green color, so it’s just perfect for this time of year.
Pea and Basil Pesto: 🌱
1 cup frozen peas (thawed)
1 cup loosely packed basil
1/4 cup walnuts
1/4 cup grated fresh Parmesan (omit the cheese for a dairy free version)
1/4 extra virgin olive oil**
2 cloves of raw garlic (use 1 clove or omit if sensitive to garlic)
Salt + white pepper to taste
**One of the things I love the most about this recipe is that it doesn’t require a ton of oil. The moisture in the peas + a few tablespoons of olive oil is usually enough. Start with 2 Tbsp and go from there.
Serve over freshly cooked pasta with grated Parmesan and a little bread to soak up all that pesto! This recipe makes enough to coat one 12-16oz package of cooked pasta.
