Spinach Pesto Pasta with Peas and Roasted Red Peppers

We had a great lunch and dinner today!  I made a spinach pesto for lunch and mixed it with whole wheat macaroni, peas, and roasted red peppers.  For the pesto, I put 1 clove of garlic, 2oz pine nuts, 1/4 c basil, 2 big handfuls of spinach, salt and pepper in my food processor.  I pulsed it for a little bit then added 1/4 olive oil and some grated parmesan.  I don't like my pesto to taste like olive oil, so I left mine pretty thick.  It was so creamy and delicious, though!  If you like it runnier, you can add more olive oil.  I made this a little while ago and I think I added feta, which was good.  I didn't have any today, so it was cheeseless, but still good.
