Pea and Edamame Pesto Pasta

Pea and Edamame Pesto Pasta is a triumph of freshness and flavor. This vegan delight combines penne pasta with a vibrant pea pesto, sweet corn, and edamame. It's perfect for summer gatherings and weeknight dinners.

Buckle up because we are taking a trip to the heart of yumgasm town with my latest creation—Pea and Edamame Pesto Pasta!

I can’t contain my excitement about this one; it’s officially earned a spot in my summer dinner rotation.

Let me tell you, I devoured an entire bowl of this pasta, and I couldn’t be prouder of the flavor explosion it delivers. It’s like a vibrant and fun party for your taste buds! Whether you’re hosting a backyard get-together, craving a simple home-cooked dinner, or planning a delightful picnic, this dish is a must-try.

What you will need:

  • Penne Pasta: The canvas for this delicious masterpiece! Penne pasta provides a perfect bite-sized structure to soak up the rich flavors of the pea and edamame pesto.
  • Corn Kernels: Sweet pops of corn add a delightful contrast to the dish, enhancing its overall flavor and texture.
  • Edamame: These little green powerhouses are not only packed with plant-based protein but also contribute a lovely earthy note and a hint of sweetness.
  • Pea Pesto: The star of the show! This vibrant green pesto is the epitome of freshness. It’s crafted from a blend of peas, edamame, fresh parsley, and a medley of seasonings. Not to forget the creaminess from hemp seeds and the umami from miso paste.

Now, let’s dive into the process of creating this mouthwatering dish. First, cook your pasta to perfection and set it aside. Then, in a heated pan, infuse olive oil with the fragrant dance of garlic and onion. The aroma alone will have you excited for the meal ahead.

Next, introduce the sweet corn and edamame to the pan, allowing them to mingle and heat through. This is where the magic happens!

Remove the pan from the heat and transfer this flavorful mix to your blender. Add water, fresh parsley, salt, pepper, miso paste, hemp seeds, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Blend until you achieve a smooth and creamy pea pesto.

Now, return this green goodness to the pan, along with your cooked pasta, corn, and edamame. Warm everything through, then spoon it into your bowls. Garnish with an extra sprinkle of parsley for that final touch of freshness.

Get ready to savor the taste of vibrant summer with Pea and Edamame Pesto Pasta. Food should always be fun, and this dish delivers on that promise in every bite. Enjoy, my fellow foodies!
