Today I was at a friends baby shower and by the time I got home I didn't really feel like cooking at all. My husband was flipping through the Coles magazine (March 2013 issue) when he showed me this recipe. Very very easy to make yet very very tasty and most ingredients would be in the kitchen. So here it goes for those that come home from a long days work or you just cant be bothered days.
Ingredients:
1 Packet fettucine dry or fresh
1 1/2 cup frozen peas
1 bunch mint leaves
3/4 cup grated parmesan
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts

2- Meanwhile, place peas in a bowl and cover woth boiling water. Stand for 2 minute. Drain and place ina food processor with mint, parmesan and pine nuts. rocess until finely chopped. Add oil and process until combined.
3. Stor pea mixure through hot fettuccine along with enough reserved cooking liquid to coat the pasta. Serve topped with extra parmesan.
