SWEET PEA PESTO CROSTINI
I made a healthier spin on my favorite celebrity chef's recipe by subbing in vegetable broth for some of the oil and going easy on the cheese. To top crostini, use this recipe for a pastelike pesto. For use on pasta, add more broth for a saucelike consistency. -Amber Massey, Argyle, Texas

PEA AND MINT PESTO CROSTINI
This is a recipe based on one by Giada De Laurentiis. It's superb! It freezes well with no discoloration so it's easy to make ahead or to freeze leftovers (not that there ever is in my house). If you don't want to make the crostini, spread the pea pesto on Melba toast or other very crisp crackers. Don't skip the tomatoes as they really finish the dish. I usually use sourdough bread for this.This also makes a great sauce for chicken or fish.

Steps:
- For the pea pesto: Pulse together the peas, Parmesan, garlic, and mint with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper in a food processor. With the machine running, slowly add the olive oil until everything is well combined and you have a smooth puree, about 1 minute. Season with additional salt and pepper, if needed. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
- For the crostini: Brush one side of the sliced bread with olive oil and toast it until golden brown and crispy. You can grill the bread if you prefer.
- Transfer the bread to a serving platter. If necessary, cut the bread slices so that you have slices about 2 inches long. Spread one heaping tablespoon of the pea pesto on each slice. Top each slice with a tomato half or a bit of diced tomato and serve.
- For maximum crispiness, use day old bread or fresh bread that's been dried out in a 300F oven for about 5 minutes.
