Ingredients You'll Need
1 pound whole wheat linguine
1 cup fresh or frozen and thawed green peas
1 cup packed flat-leaf parsley leaves (from 1 bunch parsley)
1/2 cup packed basil leaves, or a combination of basil and mint
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon brined capers, drained
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
1/2 cup chopped walnut pieces, toasted
Directions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add linguine and cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking water, then drain linguine and transfer to a large bowl.
Meanwhile, put peas, parsley, basil, lemon juice and capers into a food processor and pulse to make a coarse paste. With the motor running, add oil in a steady stream. Season pesto with salt and pepper.
Toss hot linguine with reserved 1/2 cup cooking water and pesto. Top with walnuts and serve immediately.
