Peas And Macaroni Soup 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!

SPLIT PEA SOUP WITH PASTA

Steps:

• Sort and rinse peas.
• In a large pot combine all ingredients except spagetti.
• Bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat, cover and simmer until peas are tender, about 2-3 hours. Adding water if necessary.
• In the meantime cook spagetti until al dente, and drain.
• After soup has finished cooking and peas are tender add spagetti and cook about 5 minutes longer.
• Serve topped with hot sauce and croutons if desired.

MACARONI AND PEAS

Steps:

• Saute onions in olive oil. When onions are soft, saute garlic quickly.
• Add tomato sauce and 1/2 can water.
• Add seasonings to your taste. (I prefer a lot of red pepper to make the sauce hot).
• Simmer covered for about 45 minutes. Add peas during last 20 minutes of cooking.
• Prepare macaroni (elbows or small shells) as directed on box.
• Serve in a big bowl with lots of sauce. I prefer it as a soupy pasta. Add grated cheese. Delicious with bread and a glass of wine.
