Garden Herb Pesto Pasta

(9)
"I whipped up a garden pesto pasta for dinner with the intention to save some for when I drive down to the beach. There, I’ll be spending some beach time with the fam. I absolutely love this recipe because it’s perfectly awesome served hot, right when it is made, but it’s almost even *better* after it has been sitting in the fridge for a bit. The sauce is made from a variety of different basils from my garden (lemon, lime, cinnamon, spicy globe, and sweet) with some fresh thyme, oregano, chives, and parsley. I pretty much trimmed whatever needed to be trimmed and used that for the pesto. Garlic, lemon juice, and a handful of other fun ingredients made the sauce out of control good. Fresh, tangy, savory, slightly sweet and peppery, it’s exactly what you want when it’s steaming hot outside. Studded within the orecchiette pasta noodles are english peas, blanched fava beans and snow peas all topped with more fresh herbs, sea salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. So divine."
