Tasty but the peas are fairly noticeable. I added almost a cup of fresh basil to improve the flavor. Very appropriate for spring.

I LOVE this recipe!!!! It was absolutely delicious and healthy! I reduced the oil and subbed dried basil for fresh because I didn't have any. Will definitely be making again! Thanks!

I was thrilled to find this recipe - I've always made pesto with spinach to boost the nutritional value for my preschooler, but I was low on fresh basil and had no spinach in the house. As luck would have it, I happened to have a bag peas that had been hanging out in the back of the freezer for months. I tried the recipe as written and it was excellent. I decided to tweak it to the "gusto" of my family, and I added a little more olive oil, red pepper flakes and salt. My 3-year old just ate 3 spoonfuls right out of the food processor and he LOVED it! This may become our basic pesto recipe from now on!!

This was exceptional! I looked at others' comments & decided to add about a 1/4 cup of walnuts & another Tbs of olive oil. It was delicious & my normally very picky eater ate 3 helpings!

This was really yummy! Definately needs salt, and I added a couple of splashes of hot sauce to an extra kick. Will make again!

Excellent recipe. I am not a fan of peas, but I definitely enjoyed making and devouring this recipe. I did not have all the ingredients on hand, but the substitutions I made did not affect the taste at all! Basically, I used Canned Sweet Peas, instead of Frozen Peas and Dried Basil instead of fresh and no lemon juice. Still Amazing. Anybody else should definitely go with the true ingredients since I just didn't have the time to get anything. Finally, Thank you for sharing your flexible recipe!
