If you need something simple and tasty for a week-night meal, then this Pea Pesto Ramen is for you!
There's something fun about switching up a pesto recipe. As you may know, authentic pesto recipes include basil, garlic, olive oil, pine nuts, and parmesan. However, for this recipe, I thought it would be fun to use up some of those peas lying around in my freezer as the basil substitute. The taste of the pesto ends up being very different, but the flavours are delicious nonetheless.

This recipe takes less than 15 minutes and is so comforting! It'll become a week-night go-to!
