Instructions
- Cook the pasta in a pot of salted boiling water according to package instructions. For the final 2 minutes of cooking time, add the peas.
- When it’s cooked, reserve ½ cup of the pasta cooking water and set aside, then drain the pasta and peas.
- Add the pasta, peas, pesto and cooking water to a large bowl and gently toss to coat. The cooking water is starchy and helps the pesto to coat the pasta and stop it sticking or becoming claggy.
- Divide between serving plates and top with parmesan and basil leaves, plus a good grinding of black pepper.
