Italian Style Peas Recipes

ITALIAN RECIPE FOR PASTA AND PEAS WITH GARLIC

Steps:

• In sauce pan begin to boil the water for the pasta
• In a large frying pan (enough to hold the pasta later), over med-high heat add frozen peas, and garlic and add enough water to cover slightly
• When water is about gone, lower heat to Low and add in the 3 TBSP of olive oil and make sure to coat ingredients
• Keep a watchful eye, making sure not to burn the garlic. If needed add some water or more olive oil
• Meanwhile, add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until aldente
• When pasta is finished, transfer the pasta to the frying pan and toss so the pasta is coated with the olive oil making sure to keep aside about a 1/2 cup or so of the pasta water (important).
• Serve the pasta and top with grated Italian cheese (preferably Romano).
• Use the extra pasta water if the pasta is too dry. It's also important to add the pasta water in with any left over pasta containers so when you reheat it, it won't be dry and you don't water it down in flavor with non-pasta water.

ITALIAN PEAS

Steps:
