pasta, peas and pesto

We made this barefoot contessa recipe today for some friends that just had a baby and I am reminded how much I love Ina Garten. It is served cold and makes a great lunch food, it lasts several days in the fridge and is just as tasty and it is a nice one to bring to people because it travels easy and is ready to eat, no cooking required for the recipient! We have put it in those chinese paper food cartons and taken it on a picnic and had so much fun!
I hope that you et a chance to try it.

I love making the pesto but if you are pushed for time or don't have some of the ingredients available at your grocery store, I use the Classico brand pesto in a jar.
