PEA SAUCE PASTA

Green pea sauce pasta is a vibrant, creamy pasta dish made by blending cooked green peas with lemon, spinach and a splash of olive oil to create a bright, nutrient packed sauce that clings to your favourite pasta shape. It’s a perfect quick weeknight meal because peas cook fast, the sauce comes together in minutes in a blender or food processor, and you get a punch of flavour from lemon plus protein, fibre and vitamins from the peas. Toss through hot pasta, finish with grated cheese if you like or crunchy breadcrumbs for texture, and you’ve got a fridge friendly, wholesome dinner that’s as lively as it is fuss free.
