A delicious departure from regular pesto, this watercress, pea and lemon pesto pasta brings together flavors that all complement each other. This recipe is a wonderful make ahead, just make the pesto and boil up some pasta when you’re ready to eat. This dish is also a quick dinner idea. If you have the pesto pre-made, dinner can be on the table in the time it takes to boil the pasta.

Janette Fuschi

Hi, my name is Janette, originally from England, currently living in Southern California. I'm the author, recipe developer, photographer and resident redhead behind Culinary Ginger. I grew up in a household with 4 siblings where my mother cooked a from scratch meal for us every night. I took an interest at an early age in cooking and learned a lot by helping and watching my mother in the kitchen. Today that tradition is carried on my household in that I also like to cook every night. I like to use only fresh ingredients, no processed or pre-packaged foods are allowed in my kitchen. I like to try new recipes and adapt current ones from all cuisines. In addition to all of this, I am fortunate that I get to travel with my husband for business and this allows me to explore and document my findings here for you to read and hopefully, take something with you.
