Rad Green Pesto
Pesto but make it veggie-fied.
Ingredients:
pasta (radiatori)
broccoli
peas
basil
garlic
pine nuts
walnuts
parm
salt and pepper
lemon juice
pasta water
olive oil
panko crumbs (toasted)
Instructions:
Cook your pasta al dente and meanwhile, steam or blanch a handful of broccoli and peas. Then combine all pesto ingredients into a food processor. I used about a half cup of broccoli and peas, two cloves garlic, the juice of one lemon, hugeee handful of basil, a bit of nuts, tons of parm and only a little pasta water and olive oil. As always, adjust all seasonings to taste. It is much easier to start with less and add more (definitely go light on the garlic and nuts to start!).
