This is another family-friendly and simple meatless meal. Pair Peanut Butter Spirals with a nice green salad and you are set!

Here’s a tip for thawing the peas –
Put the frozen peas in a colander in the sink. When the pasta is cooked, drain it right over the peas, allowing the hot water to thaw them. Pour out the pasta over the peas, too, and shake the colander to finish draining the pasta.

2 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 Tablespoon raw honey or brown rice syrup

Prepare the pasta according to the package directions; drain. Meanwhile, combine all the remaining ingredients except the peas in a food processor or blender and process until smooth. Transfer the pasta to a large serving bowl. Add the peas and sauce, stirring to combine. Serve warm.
