English Peas are second only to lima beans as fresh vegetable source of protein. You will get more protein from three-fourths of a cup of peas than you will from a tablespoon of peanut butter and you will have consumed less than one-half gram of fat and only 100 calories. Green peas are also a reliable source of omega 3 fats, as well as a good source of vitamins C and K and oh so kid friendly! So lets have some more peas, please! 
All measurements are guesstimates. Sorry, I don't measure anything.
1 box pasta of choice (I use GF Quinoa noodles)
Peas
2 Tbs red onion minced
A handful of cilantro chopped
4 long sprigs of fresh mint chopped
A spoonful of honey
A pinch or two of sea salt
1/3 Cup Olive Oil
3 Tbs Apple Cider Vinegar
Make pasta according to package instructions. While pasta is cooking mix all ingredients together except peas. Add peas to pasta with 3 minutes cook time remaining. Drain peas and pasta, rinse if needed. Add sauce.
Serves Approx 5 (4 hungry kids and a mom!) Takes 15 minutes
