MIXED HERB PESTO PASTA WITH PEAS AND FETA
Here comes the recipe for the mixed herb pesto pasta with peas and feta that you asked for.
You’ll need:
a box of red lentil pasta or any pasta you like
1/2 cup of walnuts - today’s heart health superstar in this recipe! Regular intake of walnuts can help lower cholesterol and protect against heart disease. The omega-3 fatty acids in walnuts help keep the cardiovascular system healthy and reduce the risk of heart disease
4 cups of mixed fresh herbs, I used about 2 cups of basil, 1 cup of sage and 1/2 cup each of oregano and mint
about a cup of EVOO (Extra virgin olive oil), depending on how thick you like your pesto
2 cloves of garlic
a cup of green peas
1/3 cup of goat feta
some lemon zest
teaspoon of pink Himalayan salt
Start by toasting your walnuts in the oven @400 (max. 10 mins, shaking the pan halfway).
Once cooled, place them in your blender together with all the herbs, garlic and oil and pulse until smooth to your liking. Transfer to a jar and stir in sea salt & lemon zest.
Cook pasta & add in peas at the last minute. Strain & place in a large bowl, stir in pesto and top with goat feta! Bon Appetit!
