Categories     European

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups shelled fresh peas or 1 1/2 cups frozen peas
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, minced
1 cup ricotta cheese, preferably homestyle
1/3 cup freshly grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese
salt
fresh ground black pepper
1 lb orecchiette (or small shell pasta)

Steps:

  • Bring 4 quarts water to a boil in a large pot for cooking the pasta.
  • Bring several cups water to a boil in a small pot for cooking the peas.
  • Add the peas to the small pot of boiling water and cook until tender, about 4 minutes for fresh and about 1 minute for frozen; drain and set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a small skillet.
  • Add in the onion and saute until lightly browned, about 7 minutes.
  • Stir in the peas and cook for 30 seconds.
  • Scrape the onion and peas into a bowl large enough to hold the orecchiette or small shells when cooked.
  • Stir in the ricotta and Parmigiano-Reggiano and salt and pepper to taste.
  • When the water comes to a boil, add salt to taste and the orecchiette; cook until al dente and then drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking water.
  • Toss the pasta with the cheese sauce, adding as much cooking water as needed to thin the sauce.
  • Divide among individual bowls and serve immediately.

I'm not a fan of ricotta cheese, so I used cottage cheese instead. It worked out great!

This recipe is very versatile. You can add or omit ingredients to suit your taste. I like to add a handful of chopped fresh basil at the end.

I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the pancetta from the recipe. The dish was still delicious! The peas and ricotta provided plenty of flavor and texture.
