Week 6: Sweet Pea Pesto

Week 6 and baby is now the size of a sweet pea. I considered making another soup this week buttt, I don’t like split pea soup that much. I thought about peas. How do I like them? And it hit me! I love this simple pea pesto I make placed underneath any grilled or  baked protein or vegetable. This is super fast and  simple to make. I love keeping a bag of frozen peas in my fridge for when the urge strikes me. So delicious!

1 bag frozen peas

½ cup (or more-you greedy tasty little cheese heads) shaved Parmesan 

Olive oil-added a little at a time until it  makes a  consistency you enjoy

Salt 

Pepper

Bunch fresh mint

Garlic clove

 

Thaw peas and mash with a potato masher or fork. Use a hand blender for the rest of the ingredients. You’re looking  to make this a consistency of mashed potatoes.  Chill. 

As you can see, I love this laid under a piece of grilled salmon!
