What makes Creamy Pesto Pasta special?

The secret of this recipe lies in the harmonious blend of sweet peas, smooth mozzarella, and robust basil pesto.

Not only is this dish delicious, but it also boasts nutritional benefits – **a rich source of protein from mozzarella and cream**, while the pasta provides energy from its carbohydrates.

Effortless preparation without compromises

To achieve the best results, cook the pasta al dente and ensure the cream and pesto are well heated to enhance the flavors of the sauce. This recipe is also perfect for variations – consider substituting mozzarella with goat cheese for a more pronounced flavor or adding a dash of chili for a spicy twist. While ideal for vegetarians, grilled chicken can be added for a heartier meal.
