Orecchiette Carbonara with English Peas and Pea Shoots






There is something about June that calls for a perfect spring pasta. This week, we revisited a favorite from the archives: our Orecchiette Carbonara with English Peas and Pea Shoots.

We decided to riff on the original recipe by adding Snap Peas, and it was a revelation. They added a bright, fresh crispness that cut through the richness of the carbonara perfectly. I even the reflective time while I  peeled the string from the Peas.

You can find the recipe for Orecchiette Carbonara with English Peas and Pea Shoots on our blog of April 28, 2009: Click the date to get the recipe.

We started with a Tomato Salad with Burrata and Pesto. It is fun as we move farther into summer watching more and more fruits appear in the market and every week the seem tastier and sweeter.
