Small bunch basil, leaves picked, a few reserved to serve

150ml single cream
50g parmesan (or vegan alternative), grated, plus a little extra to serve
Cook the pasta according to the instructions.
Boil the kettle, put the spinach and peas in a bowl, and cover with the boiling water.
Leave for a few minutes until the peas are tender, then drain well.
Tip the vegetables into a food processor, add the basil, pesto, cream and parmesan, and blitz to make a smooth sauce.
Drain the pasta, reserving a little of the cooking water, and return to the pan.
Pour over the sauce and mix well over a low heat.
Add a little pasta water to loosen the sauce.
Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve with extra parmesan and scatter with basil leaves, as garnish.
