Simple Pea Pesto Pasta
October 7, 2021

Simple Pea Pesto Pasta

I love a simple, under-30-minute meal, and this Pea Pesto Pasta fits the bill. Made with cooked pasta, a container of pesto, and a bag of frozen peas, you’ve got yourself a simple, delicious, and nutritious meal in almost no time. 

Simple Pea Pesto Pasta

  • 1 bag orecchiette pasta, cooked to al dente in salted water
  • 1 jar or container pesto
  • 1 bag frozen peas
  • shredded parmesan for topping
  • *optional add spinach or crumbled, cooked Italian sausage

Takes 15 minutes,
serves four to six.

  1. Bring salted water to a boil and add pasta. Cook to al dente, and drain all but 1 cup of pasta water.
  2. Add pesto and peas to the cooked pasta in the warm pan. Stir to combine and coat. (The heated pasta will cook the frozen peas!)
  3. *Optionally, add some handfuls of torn, fresh spinach to up the greens factor. And, if you’d like to make it a meaty meal, some sweet Italian sausage cooked to crumbles would be lovely added here.

We like to top the pasta with shredded parmesan and toasted pine nuts for a little salty crunch. 

This is truly a no-fail, fifteen-minute family meal. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
