Minty Pasta with Pea Recipe Video
This is one of my favorite QuickBites. I just love the pop of the peas combined with the refreshing flavor of the mint and the creamy cottage cheese. This dish works especially well in the Spring, but it's so easy to make that I find myself going to it all year round!
