This is a delicious scrumptious twist on the Italian classic. If you want a simple and easy meal thats packed with protein, then give this a go. Walnuts are full of nutritional power and flavour, so they made this dish super special.
For the pesto, place all of the ingredients except the olive oil in a food processor and blend until smooth. Next slowly drizzle in the olive oil whilst the processor is running.
Cook the spaghetti as per the cooking instructions, adding the peas to the pot 2 minutes before the end of the cooking time.
Next, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a pan and add the pesto. Heat through gently before adding the strained spaghetti and peas.
Mix well, season with salt and pepper and serve with an Italian hard cheese such as parmesan or plant-based alternative.
