This colorful pasta dinner goes from stovetop to dining table in 30 minutes or less.

Ingredients for Springtime Pesto Fettuccine:

How to make Springtime Pesto Fettuccine:

Prepare pasta according to package directions.

While the pasta cooks, heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add asparagus and peas, cooking 2-3 minutes, until asparagus is crisp tender.

Toss with cooked pasta and adjust seasoning to taste.

Top with parmesan cheese and serve warm.

    Oh dear Lord that looks good! Now I feel like I should scratch what I was going to make for dinner this evening and make this instead! It could very well be one of my favorite dishes, YUM!

    I was scared off pesto when I was a kid but I’ve recently been wondering if maybe I just had a bad pesto! So I’m keen to give this a go

    This is the kind of meal I like to have in weekdays: it makes me feel fancy even though it’s so super easy! Is the vegan pesto similar to the regular one?

    Reply
    • thiswifecooks

      September 19, 2017 at 12:19 pm

      Yes, very similar. Vegan pesto does not contain parmesan or it includes a non-dairy version. You could absolutely sub traditional pesto here.

    This pasta dish looks so amazing. I love peas and pasta together, it’s a delicious combination. I can’t wait to make this for my family.

    Oh wow, now this looks like something I need to make. I love that it doesn’t include meat (my 12 yo daughter doesn’t eat meat). Something the whole family can enjoy and so simple to make!
