Your little ones will absolutely love this kid-friendly pesto made without nuts. The vibrant green sauce features fresh basil, baby spinach, mild garlic, and Grana Padano cheese, blended with olive oil for a smooth texture. Tossed with tender fusilli pasta and peas, it's a delicious and secretly nutritious meal that kids will love—and one you may even be fighting for a bite of!

The 14yo gymnast loves this one as a snack or side dish.
She "hates" spinach(leaves), but LOVES this pasta dish!! Eats 2-3/wk!!
It's just enough to satisfy a mid-week pasta craving, but not enough to make her feel "heavy"
Is on our list to order weekly!!

Kiddo LOVED this meal!! She was skeptical of the spinach pesto(LEAVES-lol), but it turned out to be her favorite!! She said she wished it came in an adult portion with chicken(she's 14-but ate it as a side with another meal). Oh, we loved the parm container-we were all impressed with it-lol. She's also allergic to peas, but i didnt mind having those 😉 when doing this week's order, she tried slipping 2 in the cart!! Definitely a keeper!!
For much of the past two decades, Chef John DeLucie has been one of New York City's most popular chefs leading a number of restaurants like Bedford & Co, Ainslie, Empire Diner, The Lion, and The Waverly Inn. Upon graduating from NYU, he eventually gave in to his natural culinary curiosity and began a tour of Europe's great cuisine centers (France and Italy) where he sculpted his own cooking style, fusing modern cooking techniques with European craft. Upon returning to the States, DeLucie landed several jobs including Chef de Cuisine at the venerable seafood restaurant Oceana. Today, DeLucie's style remains as distinctively simple as it is universally praised. His newest restaurant, Merchants Social, opened in Hudson, New York, in 2022.
