This recipe is coming to you from Americas 30 minute meal sweetheart- Rachel Ray. i just made it a Mini Mart 30 Minute meal. I did tweak it as far as some fresh ingredients and I cut out some of the fat. Pistaccios do have some fat, but they also provide some very important nutrients, maily vitamin E, which makes them an incredble antioxident. green peas give the meal vitamin C, and lots of fiber which is integral to keep the digestive system flowing. Boil the noodles while you make the sauce and this recipe wont take longer then 20 minutes.
