Pesto Pasta with Lemon, Spinach, Edamame & Toasted Almonds



INGREDIENTS
  • 8 ounces spaghetti
  • 1/2 - 1 cup pesto
  • 8 ounces spinach or other green (lightly sauteed if a heartier green)
  • 2 cups edamame (ideally sauteed slightly)
  • Juice from 2 lemons (plus fresh lemon wedges for serving)
  • 3/4 cup almonds, crushed and lightly toasted


INSTRUCTIONS

  • Heat a large pot of water to boiling, and cook pasta until al dente. Strain and rinse with cold water.
  • In a large bowl, combine the pasta, pesto, and spinach, and stir until evenly mixed 
  • On a low heat, toast crushed almonds until just fragrant. 
  • Finally, stir in the edamame and squeeze the lemon all over the finished dish. Reserve a few lemon slices for people to add more if they like. 
  • Garnish pasta with the toasted almonds.
Note: does not stay overnight very well as it loses some flavor
