I love Ina Garten! I have all of her books and use them A LOT. This is probably my hands down favorite recipe of hers, well..except for her Roasted Caprese Salad, and well her Chicken Pot Pie is to die for…
That being said, I have made a few adjustments to the recipe, but the bones of it is all Ina

That looks so tasty deffinatley going in my folder
I love basil so I’m sure I would find this a treat!
That really does look yummy! I like growing basil, so I’ll have to try it this summer.
Yum!
Dang! Looks good, but my kidney (stones) wouldn’t like the spinach.
I will for sure make this recipe!
Looks wonderful.. thanks so much
for sharing.

Hmmmm, I’m getting hungry! Looks good!
I would love your Pasta with my first taste, I know. Your ingredient list is long, too long for my kind of cooking. I think Mrs. Jim would make it though, I will check.

Mmm haven’t had pasta in ages, this looks very appetising!
This will fit perfectly into my current attempt to eat more Mediterranean. I have everything but the pesto. Like the idea of freezing it so you have it always on hand. Thank you.
You know I’m with you on Ina love. Her pesto is fabulous. Love this dish!
Scrumptious *P* post – great photography!
Just love that shaved parmesan!
Visiting from Alphabe-Thursday
I caught some of her show when I was in Hawaii and it made me very hungry-like this dish! 😀
That looks delicious! I’m all for anything with “little green peas” in it!!
fabulous! be right over.
I can’t stop drooling over that first picture. You had me at Parmesan! =>
that does look good. Very spring-like
Looks like a tasty recipe.
Mmm, this sounds good! Of course, I’ll never make it I’m sure of because I’m about 99.9999% certain no one else in the fam would be on board to trying it.
Love the step-by-step…a must for this non-cook♫
I’m not sure if I liked how it looked as it was being prepared, but the end product looks fabulous! {:-Deb
Wow! This sounds really wonderful.
Yessss ! the Italian kitchen is very good ! As my husband is Italian we eat a lot of these things !
Great P Post! I crack myself up. I couldn’t figure out what to do for P so I did a post on my grandson patiently making a macaroni necklace. After that? I ate Perogies one day and Pasta the next day. I am a moron, lol! I make it all so hard on myself 🙂
Perfectly yum yum yum as always. thanks for sharing with us!!
That looks so delicious. I just happen to have these ingredients on hand…I’m going to try it. Thank you so much!
I didn’t see the mayo coming in this recipe.
I bet it is ridiculously rich!
Sounds like a perfect pasta dish!
Thanks for sharing the yuminess.
