Author: David, Hamama Production Supervisor Prep Time: 20 minutes Cook Time: 20 minutes Makes: 4-6 servings If you’re looking for a simple yet totally satisfying pasta, this Spring Garden pasta is perfect! Cook your favorite pasta shape and quickly whip up a delicious Garden Blend pesto and you are all set! This is a perfect pasta for spring! Ingredients: 1/2 lb Shell Pasta 2 tbsp Olive Oil 2 Garlic Cloves 1/3 Cup Walnuts 1/2 Lemon 1 Bunch of Basil 1 Bunch of Mint 2 Bunches of Garden Blend Microgreens 1 Cup of Parmesan Cheese Salt Pepper Garnish: Garden Blend Microgreens Parmesan Cheese Salt and pepper to taste Instructions: Cook pasta according to package instructions. (Feel free to use whichever shape you prefer, I used shell) Once cooked, strain out the water and place the pasta into a large mixing bowl. Slowly drizzle in olive oil and mix the pasta until it looks evenly coated. Set it aside to cool while you work on the pesto. Using a food processor or blender, mix the garlic, walnuts, and the juice from half a lemon until the texture is fairly uniform. Add the mint leaves, basil, and the Garden Blend microgreens. Start by slowly pulsing then blend together until it forms a relatively smooth consistency. Fold in the parmesan and add salt and pepper to taste. Gently fold the mixture into the pasta and add the frozen peas. (If you want a slightly creamier texture, you can add a couple of tablespoons of aioli/mayonnaise) Top it off with some extra Garden Blend microgreens and parmesan. Serve immediately or store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
