Steps:
- Warm the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until the onion has softened and is turning translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the peas and cook stirring frequently about 1 minute.
- Then add vegetable broth (or water), raise the heat, bring to a boil and stir in pasta and salt (I use 1 tsp of salt and then I adjust the seasoning at the end). You might need to add or to reduce the amount of water according to the type of pasta.
- Cover with a lid, reduce the heat and cook your pasta in the starchy water. During the cooking time, you need to stir often until the water is absorbed, otherwise, it will stick to the bottom. The water should barely cover the pasta, but it's fine, add extra water gradually only if needed.
- Cook until ready but firm to the bite. Turn off the heat and stir in freshly grated parmesan cheese until melted. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
- Serve immediately with a drizzle of olive oil, black pepper, and extra parmesan cheese if you like. Enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender peas. Fresh peas are sweeter and more flavorful than frozen or canned peas. Look for peas that are bright green and plump, with no signs of bruising or wilting.
- Shell the peas just before using them. Shelling the peas too early can cause them to lose their flavor and nutrients. If you need to store the peas before using them, keep them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Cook the peas briefly. Peas are best cooked quickly, so they retain their bright green color and crisp texture. Overcooking can make them mushy and bland.
- Use a variety of cooking methods. Peas can be boiled, steamed, sautéed, or stir-fried. Each cooking method produces a slightly different flavor and texture, so experiment to find your favorite way to cook peas.
- Add peas to your favorite dishes. Peas are a versatile ingredient that can be added to a variety of dishes, including salads, soups, pasta dishes, and stir-fries. They're also a great snack on their own.
Conclusion:
Peas are a delicious and nutritious vegetable that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. With their sweet flavor and crisp texture, peas are a great addition to any meal. Whether you're looking for a simple side dish or a more elaborate main course, there's a pea recipe out there for you. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious way to add some color and flavor to your plate, reach for some peas.
