pea parsley pesto pasta. i love it when i get a culinary vision. super easy. vegan and delish! this is tomorrow’s lunch. 5 ingredients. here’s your shopping list:
 

parsley, 1 bunch
frozen peas

garlic, 1 clove
olive oil
bow tie pasta, 1 lb

bring cold water to a boil in large pot. salt water heavily, like a big hand full. when water comes to a rolling boil, add pasta. meanwhile: add parsley and garlic clove to a food processor and whiz. after pasta cooks for 7-8 mins, add a handful of frozen peas to pasta and cook together for the last 3 mins of pasta cooking time. transfer pasta & peas from boiling water with a spider strainer and place into a colander in the sink. keep the pasta water in the large pot and after you remove the pasta & that handful of peas, add the rest of the bag of frozen peas to boiling water and simmering for 3 minutes. rinse pasta and peas in colander with cold water. put pasta & peas into a large bowl. drain peas that were simmering in pasta water and add to food processor. whiz. slowly drizzle in olive oil into feed chute until 'pesto' is smooth & creamy. add pea pesto to the bowl of pasta and peas. stir well. eat.
