This simple pesto is delicious on crostini, swirled into pasta, served with chicken or fish, or just eaten with a spoon. Kidding, kind of, because it's that good!
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh peas
- Mint leaves, stems removed, 1 generous handful
- 1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- 1 garlic clove
- 1/4 – 1/2 cup olive oil
- Salt
- Pepper
- Fresh lemon juice, optional
Instructions
1
In a food processor, combine 1 pound of fresh peas, mint leaves, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, and garlic. Pulse a few times to combine ingredients.
2
With the machine on, add olive oil through the feed tube until the pesto is smooth, combined and thickened to the desired consistency. If you want a thinner pesto, add more olive oil or a squeeze, or two, of lemon juice.
Serve on toasted slices of baguette with ricotta and prosciutto, toss with pasta, or serve with grilled chicken.
