Ingredients
- 800 grams snow peas 28oz /10.5oz, or 300 grams frozen peas
- 300 grams Conchiglie pasta 10.5oz. Shell pasta, small size
- ½ brown onion Chopped
- 3 Tbsp Pecorino Romano cheese
- 1 mint Fresh, bunch, leaves
- salt
- black pepper
- 4 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil EVOO
- 1 Tbsp rock salt To flavor pasta water
Instructions
- Pasta and peas is a classic Italian dish and true Italian cooking thanks to its simplicity. Let’s start with the star of this dish, the peas!
- Peel the pods of the peas one by one and pile them into a large bowl.
- After prepping the peas, finely chop ½ brown onion and put it to the side.
- Heat a large frypan to medium-low heat, add in 4 tablespoons of EVOO and once this has warmed up add your chopped onion.
- Sauté the onion for five minutes or until it is soft and golden brown.
- Add the peas into the pan with the onions and oil then stir for approx. six minutes, mixing well.
- Add 5L of water to a large pot and add 1 tablespoon of rock salt once the water boils.
- Boil the pasta for ½ the time listed on the packet instructions (you will continue to cook it in the pan); it took six minutes for my pasta. Give the pasta a quick stir, so it doesn't stick together
- While the pasta is boiling, keep stirring the peas then pull the mint leaves off the stems and add them directly to the pan before stirring them through.
- Collect some pasta water and put it to the side then strain your pasta and add it to the saucepan with the peas and add a few scoops of pasta water until the pasta is half covered.
- Next, to make the creamy pea sauce, stir the pasta & peas in the pan continuously for six minutes. The starch from the pasta water makes this sauce creamy, without using any cream (of course).
- Once the pasta is cooked, add a sprinkle of pecorino cheese and more fresh mint. Then toss the pasta to create an even creamier sauce.
- E ora si mangia, Vincenzo’sPlate….Enjoy!
