I keep frozen peas and pesto frozen in ice cube trays most of the time...so this is pretty much a no brainer if you have these ready-of course you could buy pesto, but i prefer to make fresh, since it's so easy to freeze~

Ingredients
- 1 package frozen peas (can substitute haricot verts-trimmed and cut into 1 inch pieces)
- 1 lb box Gemelli (Barilla brand is good)
- about 1/2 cup pesto
- Freshly grated parmesan cheese to serve on top
- Fresh cracked pepper
Directions
- Cook pasta according to package directions in well salted water.
- When pasta is about 1/2 cooked, add frozen peas.
- Bring water back to a boil and let pasta and peas cook together for the last several minutes, until pasta is al dente and peas are bright green and sweet.
- Drain, leaving the pasta a bit wet and transfer to a large bowl.
- Add pesto and toss well, coating everything with pesto and getting it in all the lovely curves of the pasta.
- Serve with freshly grated parmesan cheese and cracked pepper on top.
- It's just that easy!
- *this recipe uses a whole box of pasta, but you could easily adjust and make less if you have fewer guests.

Thanks dariana...i assure, you it is...
hee hee...sometimes i feel guilty eating food that tastes this good...it must be sinful to enjoy something this much!..lol...too many years of church!...
just another thought....asparagus would be a great thing to add as well...
trader joes has them frozen and i was surprised to find they are really tender and delicious...
so maybe mix the asparagus and peas to take it up another level...
;-)

Hi softgrey, thanks for the recipe. How many people does this serve? Is it enough for 10 as a side dish?
