Pasta With Edamame Mint And Basil Pesto Recipe

This was born of some leftover mint basil pesto, and my desire to work edamame into every dish i can. I think edamame are one of the most perfect foods on earth. If i ever get another dog i may name him edamame. No offense to my current perfect dog, cooper. And this is another moment for a nut-free pesto, or nut free if you want it to be. Im allergic to nuts, which is why i am always making nut-free pestos, but when you are cooking for any kids (or anyone) you dont know, its so smart to double check, and when in doubt leave them out. This pesto is so bright and clean and delicious, and the edamame add wonderful texture, so no one will miss the nuts. You can also pass a small bowl of toasted pine nuts at the table if you want to offer the option of that extra crunch to those who can partake.
