Categories     Pasta Shells

Time 15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups conchiglie (small shell pasta)
1/3 cup olive oil
14 ounces tomato sauce, plain
14 ounces peas (do not drain)
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/2 tablespoon dried oregano
1/2 tablespoon dried parsley
sea salt
cracked black pepper
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Bring a stick pot of heavily salted water to a boil and add pasta. Cook until al dente; about 6-mins.
  • In the meantime, heat oil in large skillet. Add garlic slices, stirring constantly so they don't burn. Once a light-golden brown, spoon out garlic and set aside.
  • Slowly, add tomato sauce to pan, taking care not to splatter yourself with the popping hot oil. Add, peas with their liquid, herbs and salt and pepper to taste; stirring occasionally. Cook for about 6-mins.
  • Once pasta is cooked to perfection, scoop out of water and transfer directly into sauce. Fold pasta into sauce. Remove from heat. Fold in about half the cheese.
  • Garnish with additional cheese.
  • Enjoy!
