Dinner had to be quick, so Zesty Green Pea and Jalape o Pesto Pasta looked like a promise I could actually keep.
As it warmed, the kitchen smelled like chocolate opening up as it melts. I lined up the ingredients like a short assembly line and set the timer out of habit.
Most of the work happened on the stovetop while I packed lunches for tomorrow.
My youngest tried to steal a bite off the sheet pan; tiny fingerprints were the proof.
Texture held together—no mush, no mystery, just straightforward food.
It plays well with a simple rice side; the kids barely noticed the swap from fries.
Cold from the fridge at 7 a.m.? Still edible. That counts for something.
A small pinch of flaky salt at the end made the flavors feel deliberate, not accidental.
I’d add thinly sliced onions and peppers for contrast and a bit of crunch.
For anyone searching zesty green pea and jalape pesto recipe, here’s the honest version you won’t mind bookmarking.
Honest take: weeknight‑reliable, not a showpiece.
