    Pesto pasta is povo and you can make it a bit fancier if you want

    Makes 1 serve

    Required

    • 100g pasta
    • About 50g green pesto
    • Cheese and pepper to taste

    Optional

    • 40g of frozen peas (baby peas are nicest)
    • 10 to 15g of sundried tomato slivers

    Method

    1. Start pasta cooking as per packet instructions
    2. Add pesto and optional sundried tomato to your serving bowl
    3. 1 minute before the pasta is cooked to your liking, add frozen peas in with the pasta
    4. Once pasta and peas are cooked, strain immediately and mix with the bowl of pesto
    5. Season with cheese and pepper to taste

    Note

    • Pesto with added cheese (e.g. Barilla Pesto Genovese) is very salty, use less salt than normal in your pasta water. Or just choose a different pesto.
