The vibrant green peas provide a punch of color as well as adding sweetness to the sauce, and the touch of mint offers a refreshing flavor that even the pickiest eaters will love. Healthy fats from the cream cheese don’t just please those tiny taste buds, they also aid brain development! This recipe is super quick to throw together and any leftover sauce will keep for 24 hours in an airtight container in the fridge for a quick lunch the following day 🤗
