Best 4 Peas And Macaroni Soup Recipes

PASTA WITH PEAS

Steps:

• Warm the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until the onion has softened and is turning translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Add the peas and cook stirring frequently about 1 minute.
• Then add vegetable broth (or water), raise the heat, bring to a boil and stir in pasta and salt (I use 1 tsp of salt and then I adjust the seasoning at the end).
• Reduce the heat, cover with a lid, and cook your pasta in the starchy water. During the cooking time, you need to stir often until the water is absorbed, otherwise, it will stick to the bottom. The water should barely cover the pasta, but it's fine, add extra water gradually only if needed.
• Cook until ready but firm to the bite. Turn off the heat and stir in freshly grated parmesan cheese until melted. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
• Serve immediately with a drizzle of olive oil, black pepper, and extra parmesan cheese if you like. Enjoy!

PEAS AND PASTA SOUP

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, heat oil at medium heat. Add onion, garlic and carrot. Cook, stirring often, for about 5 minutes or until onion has softened.
• Add stock and pasta. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for 8 minutes.
• Add small peas and bring to boil again. Reduce the heat to low and let simmer 3 minutes. When ready to serve, sprinkle each serving with parmigiano.

MACARONI AND PEAS

Steps:

• Saute onions in olive oil. When onions are soft, saute garlic quickly.
• Add tomato sauce and 1/2 can water.
• Add seasonings to your taste. (I prefer a lot of red pepper to make the sauce hot).
• Simmer covered for about 45 minutes. Add peas during last 20 minutes of cooking.
• Prepare macaroni (elbows or small shells) as directed on box.
• Serve in a big bowl with lots of sauce. I prefer it as a soupy pasta. Add grated cheese. Delicious with bread and a glass of wine.

PASTA E CECI (ITALIAN PASTA AND CHICKPEA STEW)

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large stock pot or Dutch oven over medium. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened but not taking on any color, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic, rosemary and red-pepper flakes, and cook 1 minute more. Season well with salt and pepper.
• Stir in the tomatoes and the chickpeas, breaking up the tomatoes with the back of a spoon or spatula and smashing about 1/2 cup of the beans.
• Add 3 cups water and bring to a boil over high. Add the pasta and simmer, stirring often to make sure nothing sticks to the bottom of the pan, until the pasta is al dente, about 10 minutes. The water will mostly be absorbed by the pasta, but if you prefer it brothier, you can add 1/2 to 1 cup water and simmer until warmed through, 1 minute more. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Add the escarole and stir until wilted. Taste and adjust seasonings accordingly. Ladle into bowls and top with grated cheese and a drizzle of olive oil.
