Pea Pasta



Fresh snap peas are in the market. They are very sweet and they peas don’t have to be extracted from the pods! It is a very easy pasta to make.

We started with a simple salad with some of the first tomatoes of the season.

A wonderful recipe is Orecchiette Carbonara with English Peas and Pea Shoots from the book Sunday Suppers at Lucques. We decided to make it with Sugar Snap Peas from the Hollywood Farmer’s Market instead of English Peas. One advantage is the peas don’t have to be shelled. The tips of the peas are cut off and then the pods with the peas inside are sliced in ½ diagonal slices. It is very easy. The pasta recipe is delicious and can be found in our blog of: April 28, 2009. Click the date to get the recipe.
