This is a colorful pasta dish that can be eaten as a side or main course. I like to pair this with my GreekYogurt Parmesan Chicken to create a balanced, low-calorie meal. The combination of ingredients creates a bold, fresh flavor that will satisfy any taste bud. Tastes better the next day!

Ingredients:
-4 cups of Whole Wheat Farfalle pasta (approximately ½ box)
-2/3 cup cooked peas
-1/3 cup of traditional basil pesto
-1 pint grape tomatoes--halved
-2 tablespoons pine nuts
-1/4 teaspoon of lemon zest
-2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese


Preparation:
Prepare Farfalle according to directions. Once cooked and drain, set pasta aside.

On medium heat, coat large skillet with pesto. Add in peas, pine nuts, lemon zest, and tomatoes; stirring frequently for 5 minutes. Add in pasta and toss continuously for 5 more minutes to ensure ingredients are evenly distributed. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve.
