Pasta with Home-Made Pesto

Pasta is perfect as a healthy, quick meal, as long as we take care of the right ingredients (especially vegetables and healthy fats). This time I used green pea pasta which is a source of vegetable protein. This is a good option for people who do not eat meat or those who want to have more protein in their and don’t necessarily want to have legumes in the classic form ?

Preparation:

I cooked the pasta following the recipe on the packaging.

Then I prepared the pesto. I fried chopped garlic on a pan with a bit of olive oil. Then I blended it with the pumpkin seeds, the tablespoon of spirulina (you can also use chlorella), salt, pepper, spinach and the rest of the olive oil.  

I tossed the pasta with the pesto and added sliced dried tomatoes. I placed the rocket leaves into a bowl and put the pasta onto them ?
