As yummy as pesto is, the nuts, cheese and grains of pasta make it a food combining nightmare. Enter this pesto that’s equally as yummy, maybe more cause it leaves the system as quickly as it enters ;)
In a steamer basket, steam roughly chopped zucchini, cauliflower and broccoli. Remove from heat and add spinach and two garlic cloves, cover and let steam off the heat for another 5 minutes until tender. Transfer all components to blender or food processor and blend until creamy. Slowly add in olive oil and continue to blend until achieves a luscious creamy texture. Add lemon juice, fresh basil and sea salt and continue to season as you like. Transfer cooked pasta back to pot, add in sauce, cooked peas and chopped mint. Serve!
