This recipe is so simple and yet so good! It is also fairly healthy, which is always a plus. I made it for the first time this past week and while I thought it was going to good, it exceeded my expectations! It had just the right amount of flavor and tasted so fresh.
Ingredients:
1 package of rotini or bowtie pasta
1 TB butter
1 TB olive oil
4 ounces snow peas
4 ounces sugar snap peas
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 cup frozen baby peas
1 can low sodium chicken broth
1 tsp lemon juice or fresh grated lemon peel (I used the juice)
salt and pepper
Directions:
1. Cook pasta as directed.
2. Meanwhile in a large skillet, melt better with olive oil over medium heat. Add snow and sugar snap peas and cook until tender - about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook 30 seconds.
3. Add frozen peas, broth, salt and pepper and heat to a boiling. Stir in lemon juice.
4. Let boil for 5-10 minutes, or until peas are heated through. Toss with pasta until combined.
We added parmesean cheese to ours, just because I'm obsessed with anything cheese. But it did add a nice flavor to the final product! Enjoy!
