Green Pesto Pasta Salad

Loved this recipe! It was quick, easy, and delicious. I swapped in chickpea protein rotini for an extra protein boost. I’m excited to add this to my lunch rotation — especially paired with some balsamic tofu! 😍

One of the best quick dishes!

A go-to staple in our house! We love this recipe!

This salad is super easy to prepare and very tasty.
The idea of sauteing the sundried tomatoes is so good, it makes them taste even more delicious :)

This was DELICIOUS, fast, and easy. I didn't have peas but I threw in a few olives and cherry tomatoes for color. I'll be making this again and hopefully, I'll have the peas this time.

Mmm sounds lovely, Gail! So glad it was enjoyed with the substitutions 🤗

Lovely recipe

Not your regular pesto pasta! Surprisingly good, even without the pine nuts and parmesan that were left forgotten in the oven and fridge 😂

So happy to hear that the green pesto pasta was enjoyed, Kim! It's one of our favourites 🤗

Soooo good!! Every time! It’s addicting 🤤💕

Thank you for this recipe! The charred sun-dried tomatoes take this to the next level.

This was insanely good! My husband also said that he could eat this all day, every day.

Delicious, nutritious and filling! A very nice and quick recipe.

This was so good! A huge hit. Even my husband asked to have it for his lunches so a definite win! I used flaked almonds as I had no pine nuts. Thanks!!!

An amazing and quick alternative to standard pesto pasta. I skipped the mayo and the result was still really good!

Our go to recipes on lazy week days !! Super tasty, quick and easy fulfilling recipe 🤩

Oh gezz this one was incredible! :) so easy and so delicious

Delicious! First time my meal looks as the pictures and its amazing quick-ish dinner.
I used just some green salat mix insted of spinach. Still good.

Very yummy, will definitely make it again!

The mayo really makes this dish taste amazing thanks ☺️

Tastes great, will definitely make it again. 😃

Such a great, nutritious meal for hot weather! The peas puréed into the dressing is genius. I modified this a bit with veggies I had on hand. Delicious!

So happy to hear it was enjoyed, HP!

Delicious and easy to prepare. I added a bit more lemon and more spinach to increase the amount of greens.

I made this as a cold entree. I loaded it up with veggie odds and ends (including kalamata olives) and extra chickpeas to fill us up. Sooo yummy! It's going in my regular rotation.

PUL Team - June 28, 2024, 5 a.m.

Woohoo! Enjoy your delicious creation, Kerri 😃

We love it !

5/5!! Great and simple dish. 🥰🥰

My husband says “this is definitely a keeper!” So clean and refreshing 🤤

This is now my absolute favourite dish! So yummy, especially the charred sundried tomatoes. I’ve made it so many times now and just want to eat it every day.

My family inhaled this dish. Will definitely be making it again, thank you.

Aw do glad it was a hit with the whole fam, thanks so much A Stent 🫶

Amazing, also good with lentil pasta

This was a big hit with the family today! Colourful, creamy, easy to put together and it tastes great warm (freshly made) and cold (once refrigerated). Thank you for this recipe!

Very delicious and easy to make.

This was fantastic. I had issues finding vegan green pesto where I live (small town) so I found vegan tomato pesto and used that. I also substituted pine nuts for sunflower kernels as well as used nutritional yeast in place of vegan Parmesan.

Thanks for sharing your experience with the pasta, Sarah! Vegan tomato pesto is a lovely idea. In case you're interested and it helps, we have a pesto sauce recipe here: https://www.pickuplimes.com/r… 😊

So good! My husband loves it..
I would love to know the Cal per serve.. How can I find that in the app? I am on the journey of trying so get my weight drop at the moment.

So delicious & creamy, it was also filling. I loved the little bursts of charred sun-dried tomatoes; I'd not thought of chatting them before, so I'll be doing that again! :D I can see this becoming a week day regular, incorporating it into my meal prep plans!

Hiya Fiend! So thrilled the pesto salad was enjoyed. Happy meal planning 😃

Simple yet delicious ❤️

Absolutely delicious!!!

Super yummy and easy to make.

Very good!

We loved it!!

This recipe is fantastic! I followed each step, and it was super easy. The flavors blend perfectly, and the taste is incredible. I'll definitely be recommending this app to others!

Such a delicious and simple recipe that’s great to bring to work for lunch! I actually used some cashew cream I’d made for something else instead of the vegan mayo, and it worked really well.

PUL Team - March 6, 2024, 7:55 p.m.

Ooo thanks for the tip, Elizabeth!

I made this after watching your YouTube video and it was delicious! I never thought to blend peas into pesto sauce, perfect for sneaking in veg for my picky bf 🤣 another well done!

Making this tonight for myself and my hubby after watching your road trip video. I'll imagine being in a beautiful Australian woodland near a beautiful beach in our camper ☺️😌

PUL Team - Feb. 27, 2024, 11:08 p.m.

Aw we hope you love it, Kerrie! Bon appétit and happy "road-tripping" at home 😜🌱

Kerrie Challinor - Feb. 27, 2024, 11:54 p.m.

We absolutely loved it ❤️ thankyou.
And made plenty for lunch tomorrow. Will definately make over & over I'm sure xx

So quick, easy, and delicious ☺️

Initially I had a doubt of making this pasta because of green peas, because my hubby is not a fan of green peas. The dish turned out great! Husband is currently vegetarian and he loved it. Best thing is my picky 16 month old daughter ate too. She loved it. Thank you

PUL Team - Feb. 21, 2024, 2:28 a.m.

Woohoo! Always a big compliment when the little ones enjoy a recipe too. Thanks, Dilhara 🫶

Absolutely delicious and can’t wait to eat the leftovers tomorrow!

Making this now after watching last weeks vlog
Would love more videos on your road trip & using the app
I haven’t added the pasta and it all smells amazing 🤩

PUL Team - Feb. 20, 2024, 6:43 p.m.

Thanks for the request and kind words, Frances! We hope you love the Green Pesto Pasta Salad 😃

Absolutely love this recipe. So easy and filling. Found it perfect to use up left over Peas that had been in the freezer for afew months. I added cherry tomatoes and dried red chillies for a bit of spice.

PUL Team - Feb. 20, 2024, 6:32 p.m.

We're so glad that the recipe was enjoyed, Nikisha, thank you! 😊

Very easy recipes, light, delicious

This was a good meal. Didn't have chickpeas so my substitution was black beans. Still a really tasty meal

Very tasty!

Made it. Used fusilli instead of farffale, worked just as great. I also added 3 small ripe avocados. The dish is good and filling. Reccomend!

PUL Team - Feb. 12, 2024, 5:54 p.m.

Mmm love the idea to add avocado, Daniela! Thank you 😊

Watching your utube Australia honeymoon and found the salad
Can’t wait to make
When I saw you trying to mash the peas, I was thinking use your hands 😂😂

Hope you are both enjoying yourselves
Thanks for sharing how easy the app is when road tripping 🥰

PUL Team - Feb. 12, 2024, 7:04 a.m.

Awe we hope you enjoy the pasta salad, Frances! Hands were definitely the way to go 😜

Tasty!!! I make it at least 3 times a month!

Delicious! I tried it with a different pasta and still worked well!

Wasn’t sure what to expect but it was delicious!

Awesome option for meal prepped lunches!

Amazing way to give a twist to a boring pasta with pesto

This was perfect.

Delish and easy to make!

Very tasty salad

Amazing! I'm cooking it again :)

I wasn't sure if chickpeas would go well with pasta due to previous experience but this was so delicious, I wish I had made more because I can't stop eating this!

PUL Team - Dec. 15, 2023, 1:34 a.m.

Aww we're so thrilled to hear, Chrysiida! Perhaps next time the scaling feature will be helpful to prep some extra 😜

This recipe has pasta but it's says gluten free. It could be if using a GF pasta swap.

PUL Team - Dec. 4, 2023, 4:45 a.m.

Hey Beunique, thanks a bunch for catching this and the heads up. We've just fixed it! Now clicking on the gluten-free swap button will show dry gluten-free pasta as a substitute 😃

Beunique - Dec. 4, 2023, 7:10 a.m.

Thank you.

Fresh and tasty 🥰

I am not a big fan of pesto and aun dried tomatoes but this was fantastic!!

Just tried this recipe for the first time and it's immediately on my favourites list. Delicious!

Mmm chickpea noodles are a lovely idea! Thank you, Anna 😊

Made without the vegan mayo because I was out and it was still DELICIOUS! The lemon juice really adds something, too. Love love this one.

PUL Team - Sept. 4, 2023, 4:17 p.m.
