Moms Peas And Noodles Recipes

PASTA WITH PEAS

Steps:

• Warm the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until the onion has softened and is turning translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Add the peas and cook stirring frequently about 1 minute.
• Then add vegetable broth (or water), raise the heat, bring to a boil and stir in pasta and salt (I use 1 tsp of salt and then I adjust the seasoning at the end).
• Reduce the heat, cover with a lid, and cook your pasta in the starchy water. During the cooking time, you need to stir often until the water is absorbed, otherwise, it will stick to the bottom. The water should barely cover the pasta, but it's fine, add extra water gradually only if needed.
• Cook until ready but firm to the bite. Turn off the heat and stir in freshly grated parmesan cheese until melted. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
• Serve immediately with a drizzle of olive oil, black pepper, and extra parmesan cheese if you like. Enjoy!

NOODLES AND PEAS

Steps:

• Bring 3 to 4 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot. Add the pasta, and boil it until tender (about 10 minutes for imported pasta).
• Place the frozen peas in a strainer, and run them under hot tap water until all the ice particles have melted and the peas are defrosted. Place the peas in a large serving bowl with the cheese, oil, salt and pepper.
• When the pasta is cooked, remove 1 cup of its cooking liquid, and add it to the bowl with the peas. Drain the pasta and add it to the bowl. Toss well and serve immediately.
