CREAMY PASTA WITH PEAS



Creamy Pasta with Peas image

Peppery arugula and toasted pine nuts add grown-up flavors to a kid-friendly pasta dish. The bowties (farfalle) are always popular with kids, but you could use other short pasta shapes in this recipe, such as fusilli, orecchiette, or penne.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Pasta and Grains

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

Coarse salt and ground pepper
12 ounces farfalle pasta
1 package (10 ounces) frozen green peas
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup canned reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons pine nuts
1 bunch (5 ounces) arugula, tough stems removed, chopped

Steps:

  • For the kids (serves 2): In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until al dente, according to package instructions; add peas 1 minute before end of cooking. Drain; return pasta and peas to pot.
  • Meanwhile, in a large skillet, combine cream and chicken broth; simmer until thickened slightly, 7 minutes. Stir in Parmesan until melted.
  • Add sauce to pasta and peas; toss to combine. Season with salt. Divide half the pasta among serving bowls; reserve remaining in pot for the adults.
  • For the adults (serves 2): Toast pine nuts in a skillet over medium heat, shaking frequently, until golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Add to reserved pasta along with arugula; season with pepper. Toss to combine, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken breasts should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Use a good quality pasta. This will help the sauce to stick to the pasta and create a more flavorful dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
  • Season the chicken and vegetables generously. This will help to enhance the flavor of the dish.
  • Use a flavorful sauce. The sauce is what will really make your dish special. Experiment with different sauces until you find one that you love.
  • Serve the pasta immediately. This will ensure that the pasta is hot and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Creamy Chicken and Peas Pasta Dinner is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. With its creamy sauce, tender chicken, and flavorful vegetables, this dish is a surefire hit. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy pasta dish, give this recipe a try.
