So, we're trying another new recipe from Whole Foods tonight - hopefully with more success than yesterdays (which was MUCH better today - a lot more ginger flavor after sitting all night - hmmmmm). This is the continuation of a theme we hadn't realized we were beginning until we made the list this week - three weeks of pestos. Last week we did spinach and arugula pesto, this week a new green pea pesto, and next week the last of the frozen pesto from last summer! We're pretty stoked. Tonight's has no cheese and the recipe has you make it with whole wheat pasta. We both loved this as the original recipe came out, but wre made a few changes to make it even better, including adding some Parmesan and adding the walnuts to the pesto to make it smoother. This is a totally different pesto - the mint really makes it unique. This is definitely a new member of the repertoire.

Prep Notes
Difficulty: Easy
Chopping: Nothing!
Time: 25 minutes
Make ahead: I often do pestos ahead and then toss with hot pasta.

Reaction
