Prep:15minCook:5min
This green pea pesto packs a lot more nutrients and just as much flavor as regular pesto, plus it's way cheaper because we're not using pine nuts or parmesan cheese.

Instructions

To Make The Pesto

Step 1
In case you have frozen peas, make sure to thaw them before use.
Step 2
Blanch spinach leaves in boiling water for 45 seconds, then place them in ice water to stop the cooking process. Reserve until use.
Step 3
In a food processor combine the peas, the spinach, the garlic, the feta cheese, the walnuts, the basil, the olive oil, the pasta water, and the lemon juice. Process until smooth and saucy. Add more pasta water if necessary.

For The Final Dish

Step 4
In a pan, add your pesto, followed by some pasta water, depending on how thick you want your sauce to be. Add your cooked pasta and toss until well coated.
Step 5
Serve with feta cheese and basil leaves. Enjoy!
