Equipment
Ingredients
Green Goddess Sauce:
- ⅓ cup Greek yogurt
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup fresh basil
- ½ cup fresh parsley
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 medium lemon, juice only
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Pasta Salad:
- 12 ounces pasta, rotini or fusilli
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 ounces feta cheese
- 2 scallions, chopped
Instructions
- For the sauce, add all ingredients to a food processor and process well for 30 seconds until smooth, scraping down the sides. If sauce seems very thick, add a tablespoon or two of water to thin it out. Set aside.
- Cook pasta in salted boiling water until al dente, probably 7-8 minutes. In the last minute, add peas as well. Drain pasta and peas and then rinse with cold water to cool pasta down.
- Transfer pasta and peas to a bowl and pour over sauce. Mix well.
- Serve pasta salad at room temperature or cold with feta cheese and scallions.
