Directions:
Cook pasta according to directions. An al dente finish on the pasta is best so it won’t turn to mush when you mix all the ingredients together.
Microwave peas in a covered dish with 1/2 cup of water till steaming (approx 5 minutes) stirring halfway through
Combine all other ingredients in a bowl and whisk thoroughly to combine. Taste and adjust as desired. Want a little more cream cheese? Throw it in. More pepper? Yes, please! Want to add garlic or finely chopped red onion? OKAY!
Drain the pasta and rinse thoroughly with cold water to help cool them off. Do the same with the peas. Combine pasta, peas, and pesto sauce in a large bowl and stir to combine. Chill for at least 4 hours, overnight is even better. Serve and enjoy!
Serves 7-10 depending on serving size
