Peasto (pea pesto)

Directions

1. In a small pan, toast the pine nuts until fragrant. Set aside.
2. Cook the peas for 3-5 minutes, or until tender, and drain.
3. Tip the peas into a food processor or blender. Add the garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan, olive oil and tarragon. Season with salt and pepper, then pulse until smooth-ish.
4. The sauce is on the thick side, so add 125ml / half a cup water if you want it more runny. Ideally, add water from the cooking pasta.
5. Use as you would traditional pesto.
