Method
Step 1
Cook the pasta in a large saucepan of boiling water following packet directions or until al dente, adding the peas, asparagus and snow peas for the last 2 mins of cooking. Drain well, reserving ½ cup (125ml) of the cooking liquid. Return pasta mixture to the pan.
Step 2
Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add sausage meat and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon to break into lumps, for 5 mins or until browned and cooked through.
Step 3
Place the pistachios, parmesan, mint and half the rocket in a food processor. Process until finely chopped. With the motor running, gradually add the oil in a thin, steady stream until well combined.
Step 4
Add the mint mixture, sausage meat and reserved cooking liquid to the pasta mixture and toss to combine. Gently fold in the remaining rocket. Divide evenly among serving bowls.
