Pasta with peas and tomatoes, or pasta con piselli e pomodoro in Italian, is a Neapolitan classic. This is an ultra-easy, single-skillet version in which the pasta cooks in the pan with the ingredients that become the sauce. The peas are added at the very end so their color and flavor remain bright and fresh, so make sure they’re fully thawed; if at all frosty, they’ll cool the dish. Farfalle, campanelle or orecchiette pasta work well as they have pockets or nooks for catching peas and bits of tomato; they also have similar cooking times.

Tip

Don’t forget to stir the pasta during simmering to ensure it cooks evenly and doesn’t stick to the pan. Also, it’s a good idea to test for doneness a minute or two before the time indicated in the recipe, as pasta cooking times vary slightly brand to brand and shape to shape.

Simple weeknight dinner
This was simple to make and it ended up having a creamy sauce, but it definitely needs more salt during the cooking process. I would recommend adding more salt when you add the pasta in.

This site is a scam
I signed up for this site. I received the magazine and enjoyed the printed copy but wasn’t able to get recipes online. I renewed at the full price and still can’t get recipes online. I was also charged twice for the renewal
