Orecchiette Carbonara with English Peas and Pea Shoots

Peas in the Garden

This winter we grew Snap Peas in our backyard. We actually had enough to harvest and make a favorite Pasta: Orecchiette Carbonara with English Peas and Pea Shoots. This is a really good dish! You can only make it in the Spring when the Peas are at their peak freshness. We highly recommend this dish. You can get the recipe on our blog of: April 28, 2009.. Click the date to get the recipe. We started with a Caesar Salad with home made Croutons.
