so, i found this recipe in a delicious magazine but as per usual, i tweaked it a little...
ingredients:
400g rotelle pasta (i searched high and low for this but couldn't find it so used orecchiette instead)
4 cups frozen peas
1/2 cup pure thin cream
1 small bunch mint leaves
1 1/2 cups grated parmesan
cook pasta as per instructions. drain liquid and add a little olive oil.
meanwhile, cook peas in salted boiling water until tender and drain.
place 1 1/2 cups peas into food processor with cream, 1/2 cup parmesan and half the mint.
pulse briefly till coarsely crushed.
add pea mix to pasta along with rest of peas, parmesan and mint. mix on high heat for 1 minute and serve.
optional: place vine-ripened cherry tomatoes on a tray with baking paper. drizzle with a little olive oil, season with salt and pepper and bake in preheated oven (180) for 15mins... place on top of pasta to serve
optional: chop up small pieces of bacon or pancetta, fry in fry pan and stir thru pasta with rest of ingredients.
level of difficulty: can watch tv at the same time
time: flight from sydney to melbourne
end result: hi fives all 'round
