Pasta, Pesto, Peas & Pine Nuts: A Symphony of Flavors

Introducing a dish that’s as delightful to the palate as it is to the eyes: Pasta, Pesto, Peas & Pine Nuts, featuring our new Pesto Herb Infused Olive Oil. This recipe is a celebration of fresh, vibrant flavors that come together to create a refreshing meal perfect for any day of the week.

A Fresh Take on Pasta Salad

This isn’t just another pasta salad; it’s a gourmet experience that transforms everyday ingredients into something truly special. The fusilli pasta provides the perfect base, with its spirals catching every bit of the flavorful dressing. Combined with the bright, herbal notes of our Pesto Herb Infused Olive Oil and the zest from Sicilian Lemon White Balsamic, each bite offers a burst of flavor.

The Ingredients

  • Pesto Herb Infused Olive Oil: The star of the dish, it brings a rich, aromatic pesto flavor that makes the pasta vibrant and moist.
  • Sicilian Lemon White Balsamic: Adds a light, citrusy contrast that enhances the fresh flavors of the basil and peas.
  • Peas and Pine Nuts: Add a wonderful texture and nuttiness to the dish, balancing the softness of the pasta with a bit of crunch.
  • Parmesan Cheese: A sprinkle of Parmesan cheese lends a salty, umami flavor that ties all the components together beautifully.

Easy Preparation

The beauty of this dish lies not only in its flavors but also in its simplicity. Once the pasta is cooked and chilled, it’s merely a matter of tossing it with the peas, pine nuts, basil, and dressings. The pasta salad is then left to marinate, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully, either for a couple of hours or overnight.

Perfect for Any Occasion

Whether you’re looking for a light summer meal, a side dish for your next BBQ, or a satisfying lunch that holds up well throughout the week, this pasta salad is the answer. It’s versatile enough to be a hit at gatherings and easy enough for a weeknight dinner.
