Ditch the store-bought one and make your own fresh-as-can-be pesto! I've swapped basil for snow peas and flat parsley to make this vibrant and versatile Italian sauce – toss through pasta, stir through roasted potatos and vegetables, use as a pizza sauce, spread on bread and more. Once made, fresh pesto is best used straight away, but will keep for a few days in a sealed container in the fridge.

- Break off the stem end of each pea and pull the string away from the pod. Rinse well. Place them in a large bowl and pour some boiling water over. Leave it for 20 seconds and remove and refresh them in a bowl of ice water. Cut them up in halves.
- Place the snow peas, parsley, pistachios, Parmesan, garlic clove, lemon juice and zest, salt and pepper in a food processor. Pulse until broken down. Gradually add the olive oil in a thin, steady stream until you have a smooth-ish sauce with a little texture remaining. Taste and season with more salt and pepper if needed.

Beautiful. Sounds delicious. I love pistachio.
...a green delight.
Yo lo pondría sobre una pasta, espaguetis por ejemplo, y quedaría un plato bien rico. Lo has preparado muy bueno.

What are snow peas, dear, never heard of them before, but I do adore a mix of peas and garlic in a mash! Green is my fave food colour.

pistachio makes the best pesto in my opinion and this is a gourmet delight with peas!

i like to make pesto with different sorts of herbs and nuts. this is a great idea angie. snow peas? so unusual for pesto.
Hello Angie,
The Pesto looks and sounds delicious. Wishing you a happy weekend.
che meraviglia!!!
So pretty. I was wondering if you’d blanch them or use them raw! Does this stay green and not oxidize like pesto?
Lovely! There's always a jar of home made pesto in my fridge, but I love this snow pea variation and must give it a try!
What an amazing colour. Making pesto with snow peas is very clever.

I love pesto, however my husband isn't quite so keen, so I rarely add it to anything. Your idea of tossing it through pasta had me thinking about one of his favourite dishes which I make regularly with pasta, chicken, chillies and wild mushrooms, tossed in a little extra virgin olive oil. The addition of a little pesto would only add even more flavour surely? and he wouldn't notice much difference in appearance. Thanks for the idea! :)
What a creative pesto! Love the pistachios in here.
What a great combination of ingredients. Yum!
Your pesto has just a lovely vibrant green. Home made is definitely the way to go for pesto!
I think pesto is one of the best inventions ever. Would never have thought to use snow peas though, but wow, I bet it tastes fantastic
