Spaghetti with peas and pesto
The pesto can be made up to 6 hrs ahead - any leftovers are delicious swirled through houmous.
SERVES 6 PREP 5 MINS COOK 15 MINS
- 250g frozen petits pois
- 115g unsalted cashew nuts
- 55g Parmesan, grated, plus extra to serve (optional)
- 2 large garlic cloves, halved
- Large bunch of roughly chopped basil
- 100ml olive oil
- 350g spaghetti
1 Cook the peas in a saucepan of boiling water for 3 mins. Drain and refresh under cold water. Drain again.
2 Place half the peas in a food processor and add the nuts, cheese, garlic, and basil. Whizz until finely chopped. Slowly add the oil, until you have a paste consistency. Season with salt.
3 Cook the spaghetti in boiling salted water according to the packet instructions. Reserve 50ml of the pasta water before draining.
4 Place the pesto in a large non-stick frying pan, add the reserved peas and the cooked spaghetti and a little of the pasta water. Toss everything over a high heat until well coated.
5 Season well with freshly ground black pepper and serve with extra Parmesan, if liked.

MARY'S TIP
Using cashew nuts instead of pine nuts in the pesto gives a creaminess to the sauce, but feel free to swap if you prefer.
