Peas Pesto Pasta

After Beet pesto pasta I started to make pesto pasta with vegetables that my kids don’t like. Peas one of the vegetable which my 2nd son has a huge hatred for. (He takes few pieces of Peas Kachori. No other peas base dish) I wanted to try this peas pesto. I added more Garlic and Onion while making this pesto. It turned out to be excellent. It is very simple too. I  added finely chopped Carrot / beans also as my kids eat only dinner at home during school days. You can add / skip based on your preference.
