Description

Pasta is a classic at home. After my Bolognese last week, here's an express version with prosciutto. Let's face it, serving the same recipes over and over again can quickly become monotonous. So I'm always on the lookout for simple, quick and delicious dishes - perfect for weeknights. Then again, maybe you're like me: I always buy frozen peas, but apart from for my soup or Olivieh salad, they often sit in the freezer. So this recipe is a great way to use them in a gourmet dish.

  • 2 pods garlic (chopped)
  • 400 g frozen peas
  • 300 g fresh cream
  • chopped chilli (optional)
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 400 g pasta
