Recipe: Sweet Pea + Mint Pasta (It's Green!)

I have used this recipe for spreads, fillings, pasta sauce...you name it. In fact, I have posted it as a spread on this very blog, bit it bears repeating in a new form. It is soooo good, so fresh, so easy, and most importantly, so green! Your family will gobble this up for St. Patrick's Day.
