Um, a word of warning: If you make some of this and ask your husband to taste-test it, he might just walk away with what was to be your bowl of spaghetti.
I guess it was that good.
This is a quick dish that is also an easy way to introduce people/kids to edamame. They will probably think it is peas at first. Surprise!

1 lb. box of whole grain or whole wheat spaghetti.
9 Tablespoons of pesto
4 cups of frozen edamame

I love the combination of flavors in this dish! Those husband’s can be sneaky…I’ll remember to hide in the closet when I eat this!

Always worth a try Stephanie as they are easy to pick out but on the plus side, they don’t add much flavor and maybe they will think they are peas if they don’t study them/if you don’t point it out….?

Yum! That sounds like a quick and easy summer dish! I’ve never had edamame and I’m not sure how my kids would react to it. Might be worth a try this summer.

Yum, this looks delicious, I might adapt it with a smaller type of pasta for my toddler who loves edamame and tomatoes. I am new to the blogging world, and have just come across your blog, looks like a wonderful ressource, I look forward to following it! 🙂
