Pea Pesto Pasta

Looking for some family friendly meal ideas? This basil and pea pesto is delicious served with pasta. It also makes a quick and easy dip (leave out the peas), served with bread or raw veggie sticks. It stores well in the fridge, but make sure it stays covered to keep it bright green. The more contact it has with the air, the darker it will become.

Some other popular Babycook meals for the whole family include our spaghetti bolognese, coconut pork curry, salmon and kale pasta and Chow Mein beef.

Chef’s tip

This one is great for adults too! To save time, you may wish to cook the peas in the cooking water with the pasta. Just put them in with about 4-5 minutes to go and drain the peas and pasta together.
