Pasta E Piselli image

A very fast soup to make. A cousin to the Italian favorite Pasta e Fagioli, this is made with peas instead. Dust with freshly grated Parmesan for a final touch.

I'm not a big fan of peas, but I really enjoyed this pasta dish. The sauce was so flavorful and the peas were cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.
