Ingredients
- 1/2 cup dill
- 1/2 cup mint
- 1 cup spinach
- 2 tablespoons shelled pistachios
- 1 package Laura Chenel Dill Fresh Goat Cheese (Chabis)
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 cup olive oil, plus 1 tablespoon
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 lb spaghetti
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 cup pea shoots
Instructions
- In a food processor or high powered blender, add dill, mint, spinach, pistachios, ½ package of Laura Chenel Dill Fresh Goat Cheese (Chabis), garlic, lemon juice, and salt. Pulse a few times to begin to break down. With the food processor running, drizzle in olive oil until a creamy pesto forms.
- Bring a pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti according to package instructions. Reserve 1/4 cup pasta water before straining.
- In a large saucepan, heat 1 teaspoon olive oil over medium heat. Add frozen peas and cook until just thawed. Turn off the heat, add cooked spaghetti, pesto, and 1/4 cup of pasta water to the pan. Toss to coat and evenly distribute the peas. Add in a few handfuls of pea shoots and toss.
- Plate and finish with dollops of the remaining dill chablis. Sprinkle with lemon zest and finish with freshly cracked black pepper.
