Haven't we all tried to imagine Whirled Peas?

Now that summer has ended and snipping some basil in the garden is not an option, try this pesto which uses about ¼ of the basil you normally would, and substitutes half of the pine nuts with walnuts.  Most everything else stays the same, but add about ¾ of a cup of frozen sweet green peas.  It's delightful.

¼ cup Pine Nuts
3 Tablespoons Olive Oil plus more as needed to provide correct consistency
½ cup Walnuts
½ cup Parmesan
⅓ cup Basil
¾ cup Frozen Peas
4 cloves Garlic
S & P

Brown Pine Nuts and Walnuts in Olive Oil
Throw everything in the food pro
Add Olive Oil as needed.  Salt & Pepper to taste.
