This is the easiest pasta recipe you'll ever make besides buttered noodles (iykyk)... Comes together in less than 20 minutes! The peas provide support during your follicular phase, and have tons of vegan protein. But if you need a little extra protein, chicken, shrimp, or maybe a white fish would go great!
Ingredients:
Makes about 5 servings
- 1 box pasta of choice (I used gluten free farfalle)
- 10 oz frozen peas
- 4 oz basil
- 1/2 c pesto OR
- 1/4 c walnuts
- 1 tbsp salt
- 1 garlic clove
- 1/4 c olive oil
- red pepper flakes (optional)
Directions:
- Boil pasta according to package.
- Make pesto by combining washed basil, walnuts, salt, garlic, and olive oil in a food processor. Add more olive oil if needed.
- Drizzle olive oil on a large pan over medium heat.
- Add peas and sauté until thawed, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add cooked pasta and 1/2 c pesto.
- Top with red pepper flakes if desired.
Sometimes the simplest recipes are the best! Serve with a side of broccolini if you want a little extra veg + follicular phase support. Enjoyyy 🫶
