Linguine with Pea Pesto $2.41

We bring you yet another non traditional pesto dish. This time the pesto is green in color, but once again there is no basil in sight. This recipe is inspired by Martha Stewart herself. While I was surfing the web looking for recipes with peas, I stumbled upon this gem, and it looked good, and easy and definitely cheap, so we gave it a shot. The results were great! leaving half the peas whole was a great idea!

1 lb frozen peas $ 1.09
8 oz pasta(any kind) .50
1/4 cup almonds.40
2 tablespoons olive oil .20
