SWEET PEA PESTO CROSTINI



Sweet Pea Pesto Crostini image

I made a healthier spin on my favorite celebrity chef's recipe by subbing in vegetable broth for some of the oil and going easy on the cheese. To top crostini, use this recipe for a pastelike pesto. For use on pasta, add more broth for a saucelike consistency. -Amber Massey, Argyle, Texas

PEA PESTO PASTA WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATOES & ARUGULA (VEGAN + GF)



Pea Pesto Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomatoes & Arugula (Vegan + GF) image

Amazing, 30-minute pea pesto pasta that's vegan, gluten-free, and tossed with arugula and sun-dried tomatoes. A hearty, flavorful plant-based meal or side.

Provided by Minimalist Baker

Categories     Entree     Side

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 cups packed basil
1/2 cup packed flat leaf Italian parsley
1 cup green peas ((if frozen, thawed))
4 cloves garlic ((4 cloves yield ~2 Tbsp))
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts ((plus more for serving // or sub raw walnuts, but omit as garnish))
1 medium lemon, juiced ((~2 Tbsp or 30 ml per lemon))
1/4 cup vegan parmesan cheese
1 pinch sea salt ((plus more to taste))
1/4 cup olive oil
10 ounces gluten-free pasta
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
1 cup loosely packed arugula ((organic when possible))

Steps:

  • Fill a large saucepan 3/4 full with water, salt generously, and bring to a boil.
  • In the meantime, prepare pesto. To a food processor, add basil, parsley, peas, garlic, pine nuts, lemon juice, vegan parmesan cheese and sea salt. Mix to combine. While the machine is running, stream in olive oil through the spout.
  • Continue blending, scraping down sides as needed, until creamy and fully combined. If it has trouble blending add a bit more olive oil or water.
  • Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more lemon juice for acidity/brightness, vegan parmesan for cheesy flavor, salt for saltiness, or peas for sweetness.
  • Next add pasta to boiling water and cook according to package instructions. Be sure not to overcook, and drain when noodles are 'al dente' and still have a slight bite to them. Return to pan off heat and set aside.
  • Once your pasta is drained, heat a large saucepan or cast iron skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add olive oil, garlic, and sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until the garlic is fragrant but not yet browned.
  • Turn off heat and remove skillet from burner, then add cooked pasta and toss to coat.
  • Transfer to a serving platter or mixing bowl and add 3/4 of pea pesto and the arugula. Toss to combine.
  • Serve warm with additional pesto on the side, and garnish generously with additional parsley, pine nuts, and vegan parmesan cheese.
  • Best when fresh, though leftovers will keep in the refrigerator up to 2-3 days. Enjoy chilled or at room temperature.

  • Filling: Place garlic and ⅔ cup peas in a food processor and pulse 5 to 6 times. Add walnuts and continue to pulse until a coarse grain consistency has formed.
