EASY BASIL PESTO WITH ALMONDS
Save some money using garden-grown basil and almonds in place of pricey pine nuts. This recipe is easy, fast, and very tasty. Summer on a plate! Serve over warm pasta with a side salad and a nice loaf of bread. I also spread this on toast. If you have left over, put in a small jar and drizzle some olive oil over the top. Keep refrigerated.

SMOKED ALMOND PESTO SPAGHETTI
Smoked almonds lend their signature salty, smoky flavor to this unique weeknight pesto pasta. The sauce is reinforced with smoked paprika for extra depth and brightened with a generous amount of fresh, herbaceous parsley. Peas are added to the pasta during the last couple minutes of cooking; broccoli florets would also work nicely. The versatile sauce can be doubled and stored in the fridge for about 5 days. It's great on roasted chicken, fried eggs or even potato salad.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente, adding fresh peas during the last 2 minutes of cooking or frozen peas during the last minute. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water, then drain pasta and peas.
- Meanwhile, in a food processor, combine almonds and garlic, and pulse until finely chopped. Add basil, parsley, cheese and paprika. With the machine running, drizzle in oil until well blended and a thick sauce forms. Transfer pesto to a large bowl, stir in lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.
- Add cooked pasta and ½ cup of the reserved pasta water to the bowl, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to evenly coat pasta in the pesto, then season again as needed. (Add more pasta water if a thinner consistency is desired.)
- Divide pasta among bowls and garnish with additional cheese and basil.
ALMOND PESTO PASTA
I got this recipe from a bag of Lucky nuts. Spaghetti or fettuccine pasta is best. Reserved pasta water can be substituted for cream if prefered.

ALMOND-PEA PESTO PASTA
When I became a vegan I had to give up all of my favourite pastas, so when I came upon this recipe I was pleasantly surprised. It tastes pretty good! I just want to say that all the amounts I give here are approximate, I never follow the recipe exactly. You might want to add less salt or lemon, and add more peas or olive oil. :) And don't be intimidated by all of the steps, it's actually fairly quick and easy to make!
