Last weekend, while browsing I stumbled upon the recipe for making pea pesto. I love basil pesto, so I was tempted to try pea pesto. I always have frozen peas and had other ingredients for making the pesto. In just a \u00a0matter of minutes, pea pesto was ready. I had whole wheat bread too, so thought I should spread the pea pesto on the bread and make them into a panini.<\/p>\n<p>I did spread some butter on the outside of the bread before grilling, that kind of made the bread taste even more delicious. This panini tasted so good that I ended up making a lot and served for dinner as well.<\/p>\n<p>This panini can be served as an evening snack or for lunch\/dinner.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\"
