Healthy and creamy pasta pea recipe

We all lack time by the end of a busy day. Maybe did not fancy going to the supermarket because you’re tired and/or missed a grocery slot delivery (during Covid). Making a quick and easy healthy pea pasta in 10 minutes.

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

You probably know that there are hundreds of pasta dishes recipes. For example, you could start by prepping the perfect tomato sauce ready to use under 20 minutes.

You could also freeze it for later pasta dishes. Wholegrain pastas can be very healthy and certainly score high with your kids. They also tend to be filling, easy and quick to cook.

If you want to make pasta dishes a bit healthier on your own, you might use recipes which include foods that offer health benefits such as olives, pine nuts and always serve with plenty of veggies such as broccoli, peas, or a side salads.

So, following that idea, I’ve chosen the following recipe as they are so EASY to make. You only have a few steps to make it and use relatively little equipment. The most important part to take away is – they are also mighty delicious and healthy of course.
