Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook pasta according to package directions.

Step 2

Place the peas into the colander (still frozen) and drain the pasta over the peas. The peas will thaw almost instantly. Return to the pot.

Step 3

Meanwhile, add the spinach, olive oil, lemon juice, Parmesan, and seeds to a blender. Blend very well until very smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Season to taste with salt if needed.

Step 4

Toss with the pasta and serve with additional Parmesan cheese and enjoy warm.
