Pasta with Peas

About:

Pasta with peas….I think after potatoes, peas are the most used “vegetables” ( in truth, peas are a sort of legumes) in the UK. I prefer the petite poise variety and I usually use the frozen ones.

These legumes are tasty, sorry but I don’t like when restaurants present them boiled or steamed without condiment.

To better appreciate this recipe you should use “pasta all’ uovo”, such as tagliolini, lasagnette, strozzapreti, etc …In this case, I used strozzapreti and if you want a vegetarian version you can replace the ham with the green beans cut into small pieces.
