📝 Preparation Steps
1
Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil and cook the pasta according to packet instructions, until al dente, adding the asparagus and peas for the final ⏱️ 2 minutes. Drain, reserving a cupful of cooking water.
2
While the pasta is cooking, add the pistachios, olive oil, ¾ of the rocket, the nutritional yeast and a pinch of salt to a food processor and blitz briefly to form a pesto. A little texture is perfect — there’s no need to make it completely smooth.

Return the pasta, asparagus and peas to the saucepan, adding a few tablespoons of the starchy cooking water and the pesto; stir until combined. Season generously with salt and pepper and divide between 2 plates. Serve with the remaining rocket, a drizzle of olive oil, a squeeze of lemon juice (if using) and plenty of black pepper.
