Green Goddess Pasta Salad

Bring a large pot of water to boil. With an immersion blender or in a blender, combine the Greek yogurt, garlic cloves, extra virgin olive oil, fresh herbs, lemon juice, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, and zest of ½ lemon until smooth. Set the Green Goddess sauce aside. Add your pasta to the boiling water and cook according to package directions. When there is 2 minutes left on the pasta cooking time, add the asparagus and peas to the pot. Drain off the pasta and veggies and place in a large bowl. Let cool for 5 minutes, then add the prepared Green Goddess sauce, additional salt and pepper to taste, plus red pepper flakes (if using). Toss to combine. Serve immediately while still warm or place into the fridge until ready to serve.
