Pesto Pasta with White Beans

If you read my previous posts, it's obvious I'm trying to find ways to use up my jar of pesto! It's always good, though! Today, I boiled a little under half a box of whole wheat elbows. When there were 5 minutes left, I added 2 handfuls of frozen broccoli. When there were 2 minutes left, I added 1c frozen peas. I drained and mixed in some pesto! When I was halfway through eating mine, I remembered that I had half a can of white beans leftover from the pizza yesterday. I mixed them in with my pasta and it was pretty good. They add good protein and fiber, so even though it's not the MOST delicious combo, it was good enough! I'll try to remember the beans for the kids next time!
