A quick, easy green pasta salad chock full of the tasty, nutrient-rich ingredients with a creamy salad dressing. You can make this flavourful pasta ahead of time, then keep it in your fridge until time to serve. I use whole spelt pasta, but you can choose a variety that meets your nutritional requirements-regular wheat pasta or gluten-free pasta made from rice, lentils or beans.

Salad Dressing
  • 150 g Organic spelt fusilli
  • 200 g Frozen peas
  • 75 g Arugula
  • 2 tbsp Chives, chopped
  • 50 g Pine nuts, toasted
  • 100 g Crème double (Dr. Oetker)
  • 100 g Crème fraîche
  • 2 tbsp Herb vinegar (Hengstenberg)
  • 1 tbsp Honey (or sugar)
  • 2 Garlic cloves, peeled and finely minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  1. Mix everything for the dressing in a bowl. Taste and season. Chill until ready for use.
  2. Fill a saucepan for the pasta with about 800ml of water. Place over high heat and bring it to a boil. Add 2 teaspoonfuls of salat to the boiling water. Add in pasta and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes. In the last minute of cooking, add frozen peas. Drain the pasta and peas and return to the saucepan.
  3. Add in arugula, chives and two thirds of the dressing. Gently toss everything together. Season and taste. Place them on a large serving platter. Scatter the roasted pine nuts over and enjoy!

  21. As you know, I am definitely not a vegetarian, but I would eat something as delicious sounding as this recipe without any hesitation, as the combination of textures and flavours really suit my palate, with pasta being up there among my favourite staple foods, alongside bread and potatoes.

    Looks good and thanks for sharing! :)

  28. This looks wonderful! I love pasta salads, generally make them quite often throughout the summer, but here we are in the middle of summer and I haven’t made a one. I don’t think I have ever put pinenuts in a pasta salad before, but I like that idea.
