  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

Description

A fresh, herby but sweet and creamy pasta with peas and fresh herbs as the stars!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 100 ml olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1 onion, roughly chopped
  • 140 g frozen peas
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary, spiky leaves stripped from the stem
  • 1 handful fresh parsley
  • 3 sprigs of thyme, leaves stripped
  • 50 g salted butter
  • 75 g feta, roughly chopped up
  • 220 g conchiglie pasta

Instructions

  1. Put the pasta in a pan of cold, lightly salted water and leave to cook while you make the sauce.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over a low heat.
  3. Put the onion, garlic, parsley and thyme and rosemary leaves in the food processor and blitz. When finely chopped, tip into the heated oil.
  4. Cook gently for 10 minutes to allow the herbs to infuse the oil, then add the butter and allow to melt.
  5. Add the peas. Mix well and cook gently until the peas are starting to “pop”.
  6. Remove the pan from the heat and allow to cool off slightly.
  7. Transfer back to the food processor. Crumble in the feta, season with salt and pepper and blitz until smooth-ish, light green and creamy.
  8. Stir through the cooked drained pasta.
