Spring Sweet Pea Pasta Salad image

This quick and easy salad can be served as a side dish or a main course. I suggest serving it with sliced apple, sweet gherkins, or cornichons. Nice bread and a glass of white wine wouldn't hurt either!

I'm not a big fan of peas, but I loved this pasta salad! The peas were sweet and tender, and they paired perfectly with the arugula and goat cheese. I will definitely be making this again.

This pasta salad is a great way to use up leftover ham. I also added some chopped hard-boiled eggs and it was delicious. I will definitely be making this again.
