Pasta with Peas #SundaySupper

April 17, 2016 By Manu 28 Comments

Pasta with Peas

Welcome to this week’s #SundaySupper event which is all about spring! As you know, I live in Australia, which means we are in the middle of autumn at the moment, but that doesn’t stop the Italian in me to think of April as spring… so…
Today’s recipe is part of my little series about quick, simple and affordable pasta recipes. Who says that you need to go out of budget to have a healthy meal? Pasta usually makes everyone happy and you can prepare a delicious dinner in 20 minutes. Besides, it is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables, as everything tastes better with pasta, right? After sharing with you my recipe for Pasta with Fried Zucchini, today I will show you how to make Pasta with Peas, another family favourite at our place. It is really easy to make and it only requires a few ingredients, yet it tastes amazing. Serve it with a generous amount of finely grated Pecorino Romano, which will make it creamy and add a delicious cheesey touch to it – do not skip this! It’s the secret that makes this pasta irresistible! Buon appetito!

Course Main

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes

Servings 4
Author Manuela Zangara

Ingredients

  • ½ onion finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 300 gms – 2 cups baby peas frozen or fresh
  • 80 ml – 1/3 cup water
  • Salt & Pepper to taste
  • 350 gms short pasta
  • Pecorino Romano finely grated

Instructions

  1. Finely chop the onion and put it in a sauce pan together with the 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and the frozen baby peas. Add the water and a pinch of salt, cover and let cook for 10 minutes on a slow fire. This sauce has to be a little watery.
  2. Cook the pasta following the steps on How to cook pasta “al dente” in the Techniques page of this site. Drain it and top it with the pea sauce. Mix well.
  3. Serve immediately with a generous amount of finely grated Pecorino Romano and some freshly ground pepper on the top.

Recipe Notes

Pecorino Romano is very important in this recipe, as that’s what makes the dish creamy and delicious. Do not skip it!
