This creamy, vegan friendly pasta is fresh and vibrant, making it perfect for an easy springtime lunch or dinner! Plus, it might even spark some childhood nostalgia like it did for recipe developer, Audrey, "Growing up, one of the repeat books in our household was called Patrick Eats His Peas. Patrick was this little bear I think? He hated peas and had to make a concoction including ketchup and a bunch of other things to be able to enjoy them. He called them balls of mushy poison? The funny part is my mom absolutely hates peas. And what does she hate more than peas? Ketchup! So I honestly can’t believe this book was such a popular one for us growing up because it probably drove her crazy. Anyway the good news is the peas in this recipe paired with fresh mint, lemon, and creamy Bored Cow makes an absolutely delicious sauce – and is not at all mushy poison, I promise. Cheers!"
