Penne with peas
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. I make pesto using mint and parsley; you can use basil and cilantro or any combination of these herbs. The dish is tasty, filling, and looks very appetizing. Instead of penne, you can use other types of pasta. Serve everything hot, and you can add more cheese. The finished dish is ready to be served.
