Categories     European

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups shelled fresh peas or 1 1/2 cups frozen peas
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, minced
1 cup ricotta cheese, preferably homestyle
1/3 cup freshly grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese
salt
fresh ground black pepper
1 lb orecchiette (or small shell pasta)

Steps:

  • Bring 4 quarts water to a boil in a large pot for cooking the pasta.
  • Bring several cups water to a boil in a small pot for cooking the peas.
  • Add the peas to the small pot of boiling water and cook until tender, about 4 minutes for fresh and about 1 minute for frozen; drain and set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a small skillet.
  • Add in the onion and saute until lightly browned, about 7 minutes.
  • Stir in the peas and cook for 30 seconds.
  • Scrape the onion and peas into a bowl large enough to hold the orecchiette or small shells when cooked.
  • Stir in the ricotta and Parmigiano-Reggiano and salt and pepper to taste.
  • When the water comes to a boil, add salt to taste and the orecchiette; cook until al dente and then drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking water.
  • Toss the pasta with the cheese sauce, adding as much cooking water as needed to thin the sauce.
  • Divide among individual bowls and serve immediately.

The sauce was too runny for my liking. I had to add some cornstarch to thicken it up. Other than that, the dish was tasty.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I added some garlic and chili flakes to give it a little more flavor. I also think it would have been better with fresh peas instead of frozen.

I love this recipe because it's so versatile. You can add different vegetables, cheeses, or herbs to suit your taste. I've made it with broccoli, zucchini, and even spinach. It's always delicious.

This orecchiette dish is a perfect balance of flavors and textures. The peas add a nice sweetness, the ricotta adds a creamy richness, and the Parmesan adds a salty sharpness. The orecchiette pasta is cooked perfectly al dente and holds the sauce wel

This dish is a great way to use up leftover ricotta and Parmesan. It's also a great vegetarian option that's packed with flavor. I added some chopped sun-dried tomatoes for an extra pop of flavor.
