Who loves peas and carrots? I certainly do. If you've ever been in a theater production, you'll know that when the cast is supposed to be "pretending to talk" on stage, they are really just mouthing, "Peas and Carrots." It's the best thing to say because it REALLY looks like your saying something so interesting! But enough about the Theater, I love using peas and carrots in my cooking and here is a delicious and quick meal you can throw together in no time that is nutritious and tasty!
Ingredients:
- 1/2 pound angel hair pasta
- 1 small bag frozen peas and carrots
- 1 small onion, diced
- 6 garlic cloves, minced
- olive oil
- fresh basil
- Parmesan cheese
- crushed red pepper
- salt
- pepper
To Make:
Boil a large pot of salted water and cook the pasta according the the package, about 6 minutes or until al-dente.
In the meantime, drizzle olive oil into a large saute pan and saute the diced onion and garlic for about 5 minutes on medium heat until almost cooked. Add in the frozen peas and carrots and drizzle more olive oil over top. Add salt and pepper to taste and crushed red pepper. Stir together and cook also on medium heat about 8 minutes or until the peas and carrots are cooked through. Mix every 2 minutes.
When the pasta is finished, drain immediately and add into the peas and carrots. Drizzle a liberal serving of olive oil over the pasta and mix into the veggies. Add 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese.
Transfer into a large serving bowl.Rip up a handful of fresh basil and drizzle over top. Top with extra Parmesan if desired. Add more salt and pepper to taste and crushed red pepper.
Serve immediately.
