What is Pasta with peas?
Pasta with peas brings cooked pasta together with green peas, often in a light, glossy sauce. It is a simple home-style combination rather than a dish tied to one particular region, and can be made with short or long pasta. The peas add gentle sweetness and a fresh pop of colour; keeping them tender but not mushy gives the dish a pleasing contrast with the soft pasta.
Serve it warm for lunch or supper, with herbs, a crisp salad or another vegetable on the side. It is mainly a carbohydrate-based meal, with some plant protein and fibre from the peas; a 100 g portion has 3.2 g of fibre. For a lighter version, use oil sparingly and let the peas and herbs bring plenty of flavour.
