Lately, I’ve been trying to focus on protein.
No, I’m not ignoring how food tastes and shoveling protein shakes in my face. I’m going about things in a more intentional way, considering how I can thoughtfully incorporate more healthy protein sources into my daily diet. Ya dig?
Turns out, to get more protein, simply pay attention to how much protein foods offer, and make each meal count. If you’re looking for a list of protein-rich foods, check out my post on 15 Vegan Protein Sources and round-up of Easy Protein-Packed Plant-Based Meals. I also found this article really helpful.
Whether you’re looking to get more protein into your diet or not, this recipe is a must-try. Gluten-free pasta is tossed in a creamy, incredibly flavorful vegan PEA pesto (!!), along with sun-dried tomatoes and arugula. Delicious, nutritious, and ready in 30 minutes!
Yes, peas in pesto. Why, you ask?
First, they’re delicious. Second, they offer 8 grams of protein per cup! That’s crazy, right? I know, it is. Lastly, they create an ultra creamy base for this pesto infused with basil, Italian parsley, garlic, lemon juice, and vegan parmesan cheese.
To keep this recipe gluten-free, I relied on my go-to gluten-free Fusilli Pasta from Trader Joe’s, which is just quinoa and brown rice! I have a discerning palette and can attest that this passes the real pasta test, and doesn’t give off “healthy pasta” vibes.
Plus, it’s protein-rich, with 1 cup cooked providing 5 grams of protein. And let’s be real, we’re totally eating at least 2 cups, so you can go ahead and clock in 10 grams of protein (see how I did that? It’s the power of magic and math).
I hope you guys LOVE this pasta! It’s:
Vegan
Gluten-Free
Quick
Filling
Insanely Flavorful
Protein-rich
& Vibrant!
This would make such a great meal when you’re looking for something both comforting and healthy. And since it only takes 30 minutes, it’s doable for both lunch and dinner! Also, can we just talk about the leftovers? So delicious.
And in case you’re curious, 1 serving boasts 15+ grams protein, so if you eat 1/3 of the recipe (like me), that’s 20 grams of protein! Serious plant-based protein powerhouse here, people.

Pea Pesto Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomatoes & Arugula (Vegan + GF)
Ingredients
PESTO
- 1 ½ cups packed basil
- 1/2 cup packed flat leaf Italian parsley
- 1 cup green peas (if frozen, thawed)
- 4 cloves garlic (4 cloves yield ~2 Tbsp)
- 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts (plus more for serving // or sub raw walnuts, but omit as garnish)
- 1 medium lemon, juiced (~2 Tbsp or 30 ml per lemon)
- 1/4 cup vegan parmesan cheese (plus more for serving)
- 1 pinch sea salt (plus more to taste)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
PASTA
- 10 ounces gluten-free pasta
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes*, chopped
- 1 cup loosely packed arugula (organic when possible)
Instructions
- Fill a large saucepan 3/4 full with water, salt generously, and bring to a boil.
- In the meantime, prepare pesto. To a food processor, add basil, parsley, peas, garlic, pine nuts, lemon juice, vegan parmesan cheese, and sea salt. Mix to combine. While the machine is running, stream in olive oil through the spout.
- Continue blending, scraping down sides as needed, until creamy and fully combined. If it has trouble blending, add a bit more olive oil or water.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more lemon juice for acidity/brightness, vegan parmesan for cheesy flavor, salt for saltiness, or peas for sweetness.
- Next add pasta to boiling water and cook according to package instructions. Be sure not to overcook, and drain when noodles are ‘al dente’ and still have a slight bite to them. Return to pan off heat and set aside.
- Once your pasta is drained, heat a large saucepan or cast iron skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add olive oil, garlic, and sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until the garlic is fragrant but not yet browned.
- Turn off heat and remove skillet from burner, then add cooked pasta and toss to coat.
- Transfer to a serving platter or mixing bowl and add 3/4 of pea pesto and the arugula. Toss to combine.
- Serve warm with additional pesto on the side, and garnish generously with additional parsley, pine nuts, and vegan parmesan cheese.
- Best when fresh, though leftovers will keep in the refrigerator up to 2-3 days. Enjoy chilled or at room temperature.

Lori says
I learned about your website about 6 months ago or so, and I LOVE IT! I made this yesterday and it was DELICIOUS! I will make it again. Great summer time staple.
ayva says
Made this for dinner and it turned out great! I subbed the pine nuts for cashews and the rucola for baby spinach. Also omitted the parsley as I didn’t have any. I’m definitely making this again!
Rania says
This was beautiful. I subbed the pine nuts for walnuts. Thank you for the great recipe. Will definitely recommend.
zohar noy-meir says
I made this. I omitted most of the oil and parmesan because I’m on a low fat diet. I added tofu and yeast powder (inspired by your eggplant lasagna) and it came out so good. Thanks a lot
Kelly says
This was very delicious and easy to make. I would change 3 things next time I make it. 1) Add more sun dried tomatoes…maybe 1/3 to 1/2 cup. 2) add red pepper flakes to spice it up a bit. 3) reserve some pasta water and incorporated into the pesto for a creamier sauce. Can’t wait to make this again!
rebecca says
This is AMAZING!!! Definitely going on the “regulars” list. The first time I ate it, my partner made it for me while I was sick – subbed rocket for the herbs and sunflower seeds for the pine nuts and it was delicious! Made it last night with the actual ingredients and it was even better. ? Though I will say that sunflower seeds are a cheap alternative to pine nuts and still taste *damn* good! Thanks so much for sharing ?
S Jongenelen says
I made this recipe, added a bit more dried tomatoes and garlic for me and my family and we absolutely LOVED it.
I skipped the parmezan cheese(could not find vegan here in the Dutch supermarket) but it did not matter to me at all!
Great recipe, and will definitely make this a whole lot more!
Sarah says
You can make your own vegan Parmesan with nutritional yeast, raw cashews, garlic powder, and salt! Check out Minimalist Baker’s recipe!
Alena says
This recipe is a slam dunk! It is the perfect pesto! I made it with bionaturae gluten free pasta (per your recommendation in a different post) and it was soooo dreamy! Thank you! <3 <3
Jess @ Food Heaven Made Easy says
UMMMMMM…
HOLY ISH THIS IS AMAZING. You get our taste buds. Super simple yet deliciously satisfying.
We literally love all of your recipes (we keep tagging you on insta-stories because we are always using your recipes on batch prep Sunday LOL)!
Just made this for my partner and he said it was “restaurant quality”. Doubled the recipe and froze half for next week. :)
more more more!
xo,
Jess
Karin Hodos says
Really delicious and so easy!
Anna says
Found this really quick and simple to make, will definitely be attempting it again in the future
P. says
Deeeelicious!!!! I made this twice and today used pea pasta too! The rest of the meal was your chick pea meatballs, cauliflower wings and pumpkin pie. Win, win, win!
Love from Italy!
P.s. Would love to rate this 5 but on my ipad I cannot give it more than 4 :-(
RR says
Wow! This has to be one of the BEST meals I’ve ever made from a recipe on the internet. Followed the recipe exactly — only change was that I added some chicken.
Thank you for sharing this, I’ve already sent the recipe to my friends!
Anastasia says
I love that line ‘Nothing good gets away’. It really resonates with me at the moment, thank you for sharing. And, of course, thank you for sharing this delicious dish. I love how bright and fresh and vibrant it is; everything that you could want in a spring meal.
Angel says
This was sooo good! It was even better cold from the fridge! I had so much fun making it and it was so easy! I love getting the opportunity to use my lil basil plant. Great great recipe.
Julie says
This is one of my favorite recipes from your site and I make it about every other week. My kids love it, too.
Rebecca says
Never again will i bother buying pre-made pesto! This is delicious, nutricious and doesn’t break the bank. I am about to make it for the third time
Jacqueline says
Sweet baby Jesus! Made this for dinner tonight with Field Roast’s vegan Smoked Apple Sage bombdotcom! My family has not joined my vegan band wagon but they completely enjoyed this. Another winner by the Minimalist Baker.
Ha! Thanks Jacqueline! xoxo
Henriikka says
Hi Dana,
First of all I love love love your blog and recipes! I went vegetarian 4 years ago and finally vegan 2 weeks ago and boy I haven’t been this excited about cooking for a while, greatly thanks to you. I did this one yesterday and it was delicious. My omnivore husband loved it too. :)
All the best from South of France!
Thanks Henriikka! xoxo
Bryan says
I have lived in Italy for a while and absolutely love pasta. I am vegetarian and peas are one of my favorites. They supposed to be a real health bomb. I also like them fresh from the pod. I am ok with gluten, so had this dish with a whole-wheat fusilli. Yamm-mmi.
Erin says
This recipe is one of my husbands favorites! I forgot to add the parsley the last time I made it, and it still tasted amazing!
Christeen says
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! It was absolutely delicious. My non vegan partner also approved. I substituted 1/2 c of kale for the parsley though just because I didn’t have it on hand, but it was still awesome tasting.
Dan says
Delicious – addition of roasted cherry tomatoes was top notch
Easter says
Wow!! Best pasta dish ever! I don’t ever write recipe reviews but it was so amazing that I just had to thank you! I made it exactly as written and it was fabulous! Whole family loved it and my husband was shocked I could make something so tasty! It will be added to our favorites!
Pedro Coelho says
Are the peas supposed to be cooked before being added to the pesto?
I’d really like to know because in my country they tend to come uncooked either frozen or regularly packed.
Erin says
I used frozen peas and cooked them in the microwave. This makes the sauce hot!
Abigail says
This was really delicious! I’m making it again this week :)
Naomi says
This recipe was good and easy to follow, I didn’t have any parsley, so I used spinach instead. Super tasty. Was able to trick my husband and my son to liking the peas. I am definitely going to make this at the 4th of July BBQ! Thank you, I love your recipes! :)
Hannah says
I just made this- it was so much easier than I thought it would be, and it tastes amazing. Makes me feel good too! I’ll have to make it again sometime!
Solveig says
This is brilliant, it’s become my go-to recipe. One time I added sundried tomato to the pesto instead of herbs, tasted great as well.
Lovely, thanks Solveig!
Mabel says
Mmm, I love peas! Not vegan or veg–could I use regular parmesan? I am trying to eat more plants, though. :)
David Summerbell says
This looks absolutely amazing. I always knew peas had protein but not that much protein. Will try this recipe soon. Thanks for sharing this.
Scott Williams says
It is because of finding you and the no meat athlete site that I started believing a Vegan life might be possible for me without punishing my taste buds. Do you come up with this recipe on your own? I tried it with my own twist and it was delish :).
Meagan says
Thank you so much for this recipe. I followed it exactly except I don’t use sun dried tomatoes and didn’t add the extra olive oil and garlic to the pasta, just put the cooked pasta in a pan with the pesto and mixed it in with lots of arugula. I also use regular parmesan cheese since I’m not fully a vegan. Made this a couple times now and it’s so healthy, delicious, and filling without leaving you feeling gross. I’m new to this cooking from scratch/healthy thing so thanks so much! I come back to this recipe again and again. It’s great reheated the day after, as well, and I tend to add in more arugula.
Colleen says
I just made this for dinner tonight and it was delicious! Though I know better, I made a bad noodle choice (I went a tad too healthy with Ezekiel sprouted grain pasta, which always clumps together when I make it), but this recipe was STILL delicious and its tastiness overpowered my mushy noodle choice. The pesto is delicious. I also love the addition of the sun-dried tomatoes and especially the arugula. This is a good, easy recipe.
Great! Thanks for sharing, Colleen.
Mel says
Would this work with zuchinni zoodles, in your opinion? If so, how many zuchinni in proportion to the sauce?
I would think so, but I haven’t tried it that way. Let me know if you give it a try!
Todd says
this recipe seems super high in calories in fat, is there anyway to make the pesto sauce a little less heavy, say without the olive oil?
Cameron says
I made this tonight for dinner and oh my goodness!! Best pesto ever, tasted way better than any store bought Pesto. I wanted to have pesto pasta for the longest time, I used to eat pesto often but now I’m a vegan and I figured I wouldn’t be able to find a good recipe, this did it! 10/10
Alison says
Added a bit of kale to the pesto and Grecian Style Eggplant with Tomatoes & Onions from TJ’s to the pasta…omnomnom
Thanks always for your killer combos!
Amanda says
Made this for lunch and it turned out great! It’s Sweeter and thicker than usual pesto, and if your garlic cloves are huge maybe hold back a little because my mouth is probably going to taste like it all day. I used normal parmesan cheese and squeeze parsley from the grocery store so as to not have to buy a ton of the fresh parsley just to have it go bad. Protein pasta is a brilliant concept; healthy and delicious :)
Shannon says
I made this recipe exactly as it is written and absolutely loved it! It was such a hit that I made it again a week later. The pesto is great as a dip for carrot sticks too! I snacked on it while making the pasta. Thanks for this awesome recipe!
Amy says
Amazing stuff! We ended up halving the garlic as it was really overpowering and then mixed peas through the pasta. We love this recipe so much! THANK YOU! <3
JMP says
I made this last night after an intense workout…I honestly can’t believe it’s vegan. I’ve done kale pestos before and enjoyed them, but I like that the peas add that nice creamy texture. Also, I had no basil on hand, so I used the last of my bok choy as a replacement, and I also used a tablespoon of some homemade chimichurri for extra flavor. It was really, really good and I will definitely make this again. I bet it would take good cold too!
Elizabeth Batte says
Yet another recipe from your site that is hashtag 100 percent amazing!
I seriously had to stop myself from eating the pesto with a spoon.
Thank you for your inventive and healthy recipes! Your nutritional yeast also saves my salad lunches– a sprinkle of it with hummus, cucumbers and tomatoes & kale make it so much better than it would be without it!
Everyone, make all of Dana’s recipes ASAP.
Ps SO excited for the cookbook!!
Maddy says
This looks amazing and i’m making it for dinner tonight! Although i already have vegan pesto that i made yesterday. How much pesto does this dish require in cup measurements (if serving 2-3 people)? xxx
Morgan says
This was SO good and so easy! I’ve been making this pesto to put on everything under the sun now! Thank you for making it so easy to add more plant-based meals into my diet!
Jillian says
This was SO good! I made it with chickpea noodles and absolutely loved it!
Patty says
Just made this last night. It was delicious!! Do you use the stems from the basil and parsley? It took me a while to separate the leaves.
Jesais says
I am vegan and love love LOVE your recipes! If i ever need to make something your website is my go to spot to find a good recipe. This dish did not disappoint! My bf is not vegan, but eats plant based at home. This was his request for his birthday meal! Another hit! Thank you MB!!
Meg says
Hey, I receive eye palatable pictures and ideas, and I really enjoy. Thank you!
I would like to give my opinion…Making cheesy by cashew and nutritional yeast, is an old technique to me, as I used to run a vegan cafe in Tokyo 10 years ago. I now do not eat this nutritional yeast, but I culture cashew cream into a real cashew cream cheese, also from other nuts make into a cheese, this way more natural and artisan. Takes 3 days but fantastic result. If no time, I then use good quality of miso paste with tahini adding little bit lemon to make like cheesy. Please try!
Jacquie says
This is such a tasty recipe! I made the pesto and spread it on thin crust pizza dough, topped with sun dried tomatoes, parmesan and arugula!
Elizabeth says
This was great! I had leftover peas and added them in with the arugula at the end :)
Kaylie says
This is delicious!! We took it to Easter Lunch Potluck with the family and very few vegan eaters. Everyone was raving about it and asking for the recipe. We doubled the recipe and used walnuts instead of pine nuts and it was amazing. This will become one of our staple go to meals especially in the summer when basil is plentiful in the garden.
Yay! Thanks Kaylie!
Kate says
Pea pesto is a springtime must, well, an anytime must especially when you use super easy frozen peas! Looks fantastic.
Tracy Hansen says
We made this last night and the whole family loved it! Even the 12 year old boy. :) Thank you so much for your inspiration and wonderful dishes. I will continue to create your recipes for years to come.
Mavis says
Made this yesterday. Very yummy!
Mary Ellen says
Made this for dinner tonight….AMAZING!!! My son said the pesto was better than “regular” pesto. We love all your recipes, thank you!!
Nora says
Along with your cauliflower garlic pasta the best vegan pasta dish I’ve had, ever! (And I’ve been around ;)) Easy, healthy and extremely flavourful! *****
Stephanie says
What kind of food processor do you use? :) Can you recommend buying it? And what size does your food processor have? I was looking into a magimix 5200xl but I am not sure about the size and if it is good. Since it is really expensive I want to be sure that it is the right one for me :).
Thank you already in advance!! I love all your recipes and just made the banana bread cinnamon rolls this morning, absolutely amazing!! My Kitchen still smells like caramelized banana :))))
MegK says
Can this be served as a cold pasta salad?
MegK says
I just made the pesto and can’t stop licking my fingers and bowl. It’ll be great in a cold pasta salad I imagine. I use fresh peas from Trader Joe’s, roasted the garlic and garlic infused olive oil. I used less oil than the recipe and added some water.
Levity says
I made this tonight and it was SO easy and SO freaking delicious and the pesto was amazing! I wasn’t sure if the pesto would have an overpowering pea taste (which it doesn’t – it is soooo good!) but knowing how incredible all of Dana’s recipes are, I felt completely comfortable trying it because everything she always creates dishes that make me go, “OH.MY.GOD.THIS.IS.SO.GOOD!” The colors of the dish are gorgeous and pack such a bright punch, too! Thanks for another awesome recipe, Dana! :-D Can’t wait to make it again!
Mel says
I’m not completely vegan but strictky have a cheese free diet, and I try to avoid cream when cooking. I loved this recipe idea until the vegan cheese part, yes I know it’s not cheese but I just go without cheese even a vegan substitute. Would this work without it? Is there anything else I can put, thiking just an oil based type might do the job. Like a pasta and brocoli dish but wth the peas and fresh herbs and pine nuts?
Johanna says
This is an incredibly delicious and easy meal. It is for sure going to be on repeat in our household. The pea pesto is so so good. The only pesto recipe you need! Thank you!
Amanda says
Just wondering if the sun dried tomatoes are packed in oils or just the dehydrated kind? Really looking forward to this recipe!
Evelyn says
I’ve been trying to add more veganism into my life and this dish will definitely be making a repeat appearance! It’s easy, healthy, and even my boyfriend was full after eating it. I made 2x the pesto and put the extra in the freezer for another week. Thanks so much, Dana. Keep sharing your amazing, healthy, and environmentally friendly meals with us!
Kathryn Sharpe says
Just wanted to say thank you for this delicious recipe! It was an amazing quick and flavourful dinner that’s perfect for busy week nights. Even better my boyfriend also loved it, and he’s typically hard to please with vegan recipes.
Amber | Quite Good Food says
Delicious! I loved this and so did my 7 year old. Love this as a different way to eat more peas.
Laura Bassett says
Another win in the books for you, Dana! Made this tonight, and it was amazing! The pesto is all at once light, hearty, and so flavorful. Can’t wait to eat some leftovers tomorrow… ;)
Cassie says
Peas is definitely something I can OD on XD but they’re so so good! I love pureeing them into a soup or a pesto sauce for my vegetables and edamame spaghetti! YUM!
Isabella says
I very much enjoy a good vegetarian meal now and then. However, I didnt realize Vegan could be so delicious! OMG! I made it for lunch and my boyfriend and I had to have seconds. He’s a meat and potatoes with a side of pizza kinda guy; yet he had to have more of this pasta. This recipe is amazing and I can’t wait to try more recipes. Next is the Chipotle Black Bean Tortilla Soup… so excited.
emma says
Made the pea pesto and it was terrific. Put it on your carrot noodles because … umm…. they are amazing. Bean salad with purple chinese cabbage on the side. SO MANY COLORS.
Matt says
This was awesome. I made it for dinner tonight. It turned out exactly as pictured. Thanks for awesome clear instructions.
Shalini says
This recipe is absolutely amazing! Such a treat to make with minimal effort and time but incredible flavours! Definitely planning to make this again and again.
Julie says
Wow! This was wonderful! I have been cooking almost all of your recipes lately and we are certainly eating well. You do an incredible job on flavors, textures, colors, all while making the recipes so simple! Thank you. I have been cooking for years and thought I knew pretty much knew all there was with regards to herbs, spices, etc but your recipes are so vibrant and interesting-so many new recipes for my repertoire!
Rodrigo says
Dude! I just love this recipe. Eat it a lot in my time in England and I will try to make it in here! Cheers!
Nitya says
Looks lovely, but if I may ask, doesn’t the pesto taste of raw peas etc if it’s not cooked on the pan?
Thanks :)
Nope! It’s kind of awesome! just a little sweet and the herbs season it nicely. Hope you give it a try!
Besma says
That’s a lot of protein for such a delicious sauce! I was wondering if you know of a more natural alternative to vegan parmesan?
Besma
Vegan parmesan is natural!
Todd says
I love the sound of this dish, but I’d love to add something to give it some more substance. Is there a way to add some beans to it. I’ve found recently since moving towards a plan based lifestyle I’m finding I have to eat so much more of plant based dish than meat.
Shalini says
This dish is actually so filling I didn’t even go for seconds like I usually do! Definitely packed with enough protein.
Latisha says
Had this for lunch today and it was sooo good! I unfortunately didn’t have the sun-dried tomatoes and can tell that adding will make it taste more delicious! Next time I will try roasting the garlic for the pesto so it’s a bit sweeter. Thanks!
Luciana says
Made it for lunch today. Super easy and delicious. I did not have basil so I substituted for spinach and was super tasty. I can’t wait to try it with basil, that I also LOVE! Thanks for sharing this delicious and nutritious dish!
Sophie says
Hi Dana! This dish looks lovely (as usual)! I was wondering where you buy all of your wood boards and colored paper backgrounds for the blog. I have been looking around, but never have much luck. Thanks, Sophie:)
KJ | Om Nom Herbivore says
Yum!!! I have tried alot of greens in pesto, but never peas! I’ll definitely put this on the menu for next week!! :)
Elizabeth Daisy says
This looks utterly delicious whilst being healthy too – and I love find other blogs showcasing gluten free meals that are yummy!
Elizabeth xo
Mitch says
I love pasta so much. Your photos makes the foods look more yummy! Can’t wait to give it a try now! Thanks for sharing to us!
Caitlyn Mortka says
Yes-cannot wait to try this one!!
Alida @My Little Italian Kitchen says
Yay! Super recipe! I am drooling over this! Last week I made sundried tomato pesto and loved it. I have never tried pea pesto. Great idea and I really love your photos!
Puja Darshan says
Wow Dana the pea pesto pasta looks awesome, I am trying it this weekend. Pinning
Michelle @ Modern Acupuncture says
Looks so delicious! I’ve never had Trader Joe’s gluten free pasta. I like that it’s make with quinoa, so I’ll have to give it a try. Looking forward to making this over the weekend, thank you!
Erica says
It’s so damn good! Been living off your recipes for weeks! Pics on Instagram shortly. Thanks for another winner!
Yay! Thanks Erica! xoxo
Breanne Alder says
Pesto pasta is the bomb dot com haha! Love how you jazzed it up x
Chelsea says
This looks amazing! Can’t wait to try it!
Vegan Viking says
This looks amazing! I am adding it to my list of “must try this week” recipes :)
Krithika says
Love the idea of pea pesto! I always have frozen peas on hand, I’ll be trying this soon. Do you think it’d work if I add in cashews and nutritional yeast directly into the pesto? Or can I just up the lemon juice and add in the yeast? I’d like to avoid adding too many nuts.
It will affect the texture, but it should work! Let me know how it goes!
sue says
This looks like running food!! Yeah.. All my favorites.
sisters, jeans & messy buns says
This is heaven! *.*
Love, Natascha from SJMB
Emilie @ Emilie Eats says
Say the word pesto and I’m in. I’m also trying to up my protein naturally!! Love the addition of peas here. Also love that pasta from Trader Joe’s!
Abby says
Love this recipe! I’m always looking to pack in the plant-based protein… #swole
Melanie@Toots + Dill says
Oooo I love pesto yet I never tried making it myself!!! I’ll have to try and remember to add some peas!! =) Looks absolutely delicious!
stacey says
Hi Dana! What do you think about omitting the oil?
You could definitely try it! I would sub water.
Katrina says
That pea pesto sounds super wonderful! Perfect for the coming spring!
Noemi says
Looks delicious! I’ll definitely try!
Also thanks for the vegan protein sources article. I’m not vegan but I’m on a dairy- and egg-free diet and I don’t want to eat meat all the time to get protein. I’m happy to try alternatives for protein.
Of course! Hope you find those helpful.
Joon Cobia says
If you are on a diet should pay attention to the volume of pea protein. I think you should eat more vegetables, too. You eat enough to feel full.
El bocado de la huerta says
Vaya bueno tu pasto de pasta :-)
Mel @ The Refreshanista says
Wow, I didn’t know peas had so much protein! That pea pesto looks delicious, perfect for pairing with pasta :)
It was a pleasant surprise to me as well! Hope you love this one, Mel!
