This is the first Giada recipe that I'm not very fond of. My husband loved it, but I just thought, "Eh." Needed a bit more mint, a pinch of sugar, and a little less cheese. The recipe wasn't too salty in a literal salt sense - it just tasted like too much of the Parm to me. Gorgeous presentation though.

Fantastic! Add Grilled Chicken to Whole Wheat Penne, thin out with pasta water and throw some sliced red peppers on it and you have a great healthy dinner recipe!

Wow! This one was a hit at tonights dinner get together! I saw the episode and thought I can make that but did not follow this or any recipe. Nasically the only difference is that I added roasted pine nuts. it was chunky and DEEEEEELICIOUS! The hit of the party! Thanks Giada!

I don't remember the exact directions from the episode, but my guess would be this:

Combine the peas, cheese, garlic, mint, salt, and pepper in a food processor or blender and blend until the peas are pureed. Slowly pour in the olive oil while continuing to blend.

Brush the bread with the olive oil and toast, then top with pesto and tomatoes.

I was a bit concerned about trying this for a party, but it really looked pretty in the picture, so I went ahead and tried it. Sooo glad that I did!!! Everyone loved it and no one could figure out what it was made with. I noticed several times that it had become a game within the party to figure out what it was made with.

I do recomment not leaving out any of the components. It needs the bread and tomatoes to complete the experience.

Thanks again Giada!!!

I really enjoyed this and would have loved it, had it not been so salty. I'm gonna blame it on the parm, but it was too salty to really enjoy. I made this for lunch today and it was over all very good though. I have a lot left over, but I think I'm either going to blend it with spinach, more garlic and some pinenuts to make a pea pesto or mix it with mashed potatoes for a spin on the English "Mushy Peas."

This is delicious! I did it just a written and it turned out great. This is a keeper recipe. It also freezes well with not discoloration which is a great plus for a small party and for making ahead.
