How to make Pasta and Peas

Step 1

Then add the frozen green peas.

Stir and cook for a few moments, then add enough water or vegetable broth to cover them.

Season with fine salt and ground black pepper, then cook the green peas with the lid on over medium heat for about 20 minutes.

Step 6

Add the small tubes or another short pasta shape you like, stirring first over high heat without adding liquids for a few minutes.

Step 7

Bring the pasta to cooking adding, as it is absorbed, hot water or broth.

Step 8

When the pasta is very al dente, remove from the heat, season with ground black pepper and season with fine salt.

Step 9

Add the grated parmesan cheese, stirring vigorously.

Step 10

Serve immediately garnished with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
