Pea-Sto

    • 10 ounces frozen peas (thawed in cold water and drained)
    • 5 large leaves of basil (or another green leafy herb-mix it up!)
    • Handful of nuts-pine nuts, walnuts, pecan will work
    • ½ c grated parmesan
    • 1 garlic clove, chopped
    • zest of 1 lemon
    • juice of 1/2 a lemon
    • 1/4 cup olive oil
    • salt & pepper
    • red pepper flakes
    • Parmesan cheese (to top)
    • 1 baguette (1/4" slices, toasted) or cooked pasta

Blend first 7 ingredients all together in a food processor, then drizzle in the olive oil to desired consistency. Salt and pepper to taste. This makes a yummy appetizer spread on toasted bread with a little parmesan, and a great sauce for pasta.
