Time 20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 lb pastina or 1/2 lb other small-shaped pasta, such as farfallini
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, finely diced
2 medium carrots, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup low-sodium chicken stock
1 cup frozen petite peas, thawed
1/2 cup cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
kosher salt
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain, reserving about 1 cup of the pasta water.
  • In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally until soft, about 7 minutes. Add the carrots and stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Add the peas to the pan and cook for 2 minutes until the peas are warmed through and the carrots are tender. Stir in the cooked pasta. Remove the pan from the heat and add the cheeses. Stir until the mixture is incorporated and forms a sauce. Season with salt, to taste. Transfer to a large serving bowl and garnish with chopped basil.

This is a great recipe for using up leftover vegetables. I had some leftover peas and carrots in my fridge and this was the perfect way to use them up.

I would recommend adding a little bit of salt and pepper to taste. I also think it would be good with some grated Parmesan cheese on top.

This pastina dish was a hit with my family! The peas and carrots added a pop of color and sweetness. We'll definitely be making this again.
