In a large pot, heavily salted with water, prepare pasta according to package directions. Drain the pasta, and immediately rinse with cold tape water. Rinse the pasta until it is cool to the touch.
Add pasta to a mixing bowl, add pesto to the bowl, and stir to combine and coat pasta evenly.
Add in petite peas, and shredded parmesan. Toss to combine. Serve immediately, or best served after it has chilled, covered, in the fridge at least 2 hours.
