Ok so this recipe doesn’t sound too glamorous but give it a try, it tastes amazing. It is based on a traditional recipe from the South of Italy.
Be sure not to forget the Parmesan and olive oil at the end as these two elements really make this soup special.
Spic Pea & Pasta Ingredients
8oz Broken Linguine or Spaghetti Pasta
1 medium Onion
2 cups of peas (fresh or frozen)
1/2 liter Vegetable Stock
Fresh Thyme
Dried Chilli Flakes
1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Method
Finely chop the onion and fry over a low heat for about 10 minutes or until soft. Add the vegetable stock to the onions then add the thyme & chilli.
Break the linguine into pieces about 3-4cm in length and add to the pan. Simmer on a low heat until the pasta is cooked (about 10-13 minutes).
Season to taste then serve in a bowl being sure to add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese and a small glug of fresh extra virgin olive oil.
What do you do with the peas?
Phil – Apologies, add the peas to the vegetable stock along with the pasta. I hope you like the recipe!
