| 1 | cup prepared basil pesto (I use Classico) |
| 1 | cup mayonnaise |
| 2 | teaspoons fresh lemon juice |
| 1 | teaspoon black pepper |
| 1 | teaspoon onion powder |
| 1 | cup frozen baby peas |
Instructions

- Begin by bringing a large pot of water to a vigorous boil. Add the large farfalle pasta, and cook on high heat for 9 minutes. Afterward, introduce the frozen baby peas into the simmering water with the pasta, and continue cooking for an additional 4 minutes.
- Remove the pot from the heat promptly, and rinse the contents under a generous amount of cold water. Ensure thorough drainage. Transfer the pasta and peas to a spacious mixing bowl, and gently combine with the remaining ingredients. Spoon the mixture into a serving dish, then refrigerate to allow the flavors to meld.
