I was crazy excited when Origins asked me to produce a recipe inspired by their Plantscription collection because, and I do not say this lightly, I’m OBSESSED with their products! Formulated without harmful parabens, phthalates, or propylene glycol, the anti-aging Plantscription collection contains highly potent plant ingredients sourced from all over the world. They created this charming video to speak to some of the ingredients found in the formula and I used it to inspire today’s recipe with PEAS! Who knew these delicious little green nuggets could make your dinner so amazing while also helping to combat signs of aging in your skin? Ok, so this pea pesto recipe is incredible and worthy of all my excitement- BUT IT GETS BETTER! Origins is going to give one lucky reader everything that you see below, a $500 gift basket of Plantscription goodness, including the Plantscription anti-aging power serum. These are products I use and adore, so I know you’re going to love them too! Please pop over to the Origins website to check out the full collection and leave a comment below about which product you’re most excited to try. The lucky winner will be chosen randomly one week from today. Please read official rules and regulations here. Good luck everyone! xx- Sarah

That pea pesto looks so delicious!! I’ve heard great things about their power serum and would love to try!
I LOVE pesto! What a unique twist! I also appreciate that it’s dairy free 🙂 I’d love to try Origin’s product line. Their eye cream sounds fabulous! Thanks for sharing!!
Ooo nice! I’d love to try the youth-renewing face oil because I have way dry skin and…. well, I’m losing my youth. Sighhhhhh
Love the simplicity of this recipe. I’m sure it’s quite delicious! I’m looking forward to trying the Powerful Lifting cream. It says it’s for all skin types and that it will reduce wrinkles. Anything to help the skin look better is perfect in my book!
I just had pesto pasta yesterday. I will have to try out this recipe. I’m most looking forward to trying out the night cream. I love a cream that repairs overnight.
Youth-Renewing Night Creme…perfect to accompany a good nights sleep! And Pea Pesto…have got to try this one!
I’m most excited to try the anti-aging eye treatment!
Definitely the youth renewing night cream!
What a great giveaway! I think I’d be most excited to try the youth-renewing face oil. Plus, I may have to try this recipe. Thanks again!
I totally dig the concealer or foundation!
Your pea pesto sounds so light and fresh. I may have to make it with the California olive oil I picked up in Sonoma this weekend. And the Anti-aging Treatment Lotion sounds like a perfect combo of a moisturizer and an anti-aging serum.
I would love to try the anti-aging power serum! Great giveaway.
Ahhh I love incorporating peas into pasta dishes! I made a pea filled ravioli recently and loved it so I can’t wait to try out this recipe… maybe tonight! Yum! I am most excited about the Plantscription Anti-aging power serum and the Youth Renewing Night Cream! I’m coming up on the big 3-0 so any way I can get ahead of the game as far as anti-aging and protecting my skin, the better! Thank you for the amazing giveaway opportunity, Sarah and Origins. Fingers crossed 🙂
I love starting the week with some yummy pasta! I’ve been looking for a new night cream so I’d go with that Youth-renewing one. Thanks Sarah!
I’ve been wanting to try their eye cream.
Can’t wait to try this recipe! I would love to try the anti-aging power serum. I’m looking for a good serum without so many nasty ingredients.
I’d be most excited to try the youth-renewing eye cream!
Oooooo, Origins makes lovely stuff that actually WORKS. I am excited to try their new plant-based anti-wrinkle serum. I have all the ingredients to make this for dinner! I can hardly wait!
How creative! Love this post (and Origins) – looks delicious!
http://www.bohochiccafe.com
I’m excited to try the concealer! Also, this pesto looks so good!!
I’m doubtful of many products (it’s the Naomi Wolf in me) on the market and I have been happy about what I have been using for the last year–it will not be easy to convince me to try anything else. I would be curious about the foundation since the company I love does not have foundation in their line. I love peas in pesto but will have to try with mint. Thanks for the tip.
This recipe sounds delicious! Love the idea of using the peas. What a fantastic giveaway. I would love to try the power serum.
The night cream for sure!
What an amazing giveaway – I am definitely interested in trying the youth-renewing night cream!
Since I’m craving to share this delicious looking pea mint pesto pasta recipe with all of my friends, I’ll probably be hosting a lot of parties in the near future so I think I’ll be needing the Plantscription powerful lifting cream any time soon 🙂 As much as I am looking forward to those wonderful dinner parties, I’m also looking forward to keeping my skin up, up, up! So bring on the Plantscription products.
I would love to try the oil free SPF cream!
Great recipe and products.
I have heard great thinks about the Anti-Aging Power Serum — I would love to try it!
Looks so fresh and delicious!
Facial oil looks great!
The night cream sounds great! I’ve yet to find the perfect one and I love Origins products even though I usually can’t afford them. Winning this would be magical!
I’d love to try the anti-aging Plantscription cream with SPF because the sun in California shines so much, and daily protection is needed!
And although I’ve made pasta with peas before, I’ve never thought of peas in pesto. Will try this soon. Thanks 🙂
The face oil looks great!
I’d most like to try the anti-aging cream, spf 25.
Will definitely be trying out this pasta soon! Sounds like a lovely combination. I am most excited to try the youth-renewing face oil. I’m slowly trying to rid my life of anything that’s not natural, and would love to try out Origins! Thanks for the giveaway!
Definitely the anti-aging eye cream!
So yummy! I love pesto!

First of all I love peas. Friends in college found it amusing that I would eat a bowl as a snack. So as you can imagine I think this recipe looks really delicious. Also, I’ve always wanted to try origins products so this post is especially exciting. I love trying anything with SPF but the Youth Renewing Face Oil sounds very interesting to try.
I already use and LOVE the Checks and Balances face wash. Would love to try the SPF 25 cream
oh my goodness….my face is screaming for some “youth renewing”—the night cream has my name on it.
Hey there I am so glad I found your blog page, I really found you by accident, while I was
browsing on Yahoo for something else, Nonetheless I am here now and would just like to say thanks for a
remarkable post and a all round interesting blog (I also love the theme/design), I don’t have
time to browse it all at the minute but I have saved
it and also added your RSS feeds, so when I have time I will
be back to read much more, Please do keep up the fantastic job.
YUM!! That looks so good. I would LOVE to try the Anti-Aging Power Serum!!
I’ve never been a big a fan of peas, but this recipe could change that. I would love to try the Origins line, especially that power serum!
Either of the SPF products shown. It’s always so hard to find a good SPF to wear under makeup.
What a great giveaway! Thank you! And a great recipe – can’t wait to make this pasta.
I’d be most excited to try the eye cream and the face oil. The entire line looks intriguing.
Yum! I’ve made pesto from pea shoots before, but I always have peas in the freezer. This looks like another delicious way to use them.
I love that the Origins line is natural. It seems silly to care so much about what I put in my body if I don’t care about what I put on it! I would love to try the night cream.
Love pesto and what a great flavor combination – peas, mint and garlic with a hint of orange! I am a facial oil fan so would love to try the Origin facial oil.
I’ve been wanting to try a face oil and I love what this line of products is made with (or should I say what it ISN’T made with)! Time to stock up for the winter 🙂
Yum, pea pesto is my favorite, can’t wait to try this recipe. The entire origins line looks fantastic, but I would love to try the eye cream specifically–I haven’t yet found one that I love.
I want to try all of it! 🙂
