Dinner Tonight: Pasta With Peas

this is so close to one of my standbys- pasta with scallops and peas. Though I generally condemn frozen fishies, somehow scallops get my ok. And bay scallops aren't profoundly different fresh or frozen. I cook the scallops with garlic and the peas in a pan, then toss with pasta and a little butter. and a lot of parm.

Blog name: Hunter Angler Gardener Cook: Finding the Forgotten Feast
My URL: www.honest-food.net
What it's about/tagline: Found foods, foraging, unusual veggies, wild game and fish -- all with serious eating in mind. I am a cook who hunts, not a hunter who cooks. My bent is the Mediterranean (Italy, Spain, Greece, Portugal) although I have a weakness for American recipes from the 1600s and 1700s. I also review wines from both the Mediterranean and from my local regional wineries in the Sierra Foothills, Lodi and Clarksburg.

I'll leave my new blog under the Serious Eats Christmas Eve tree here.

It's called Fast Food Feminist .

Today's story is about a Christmas ham in what used to be East Berlin.

I haven't told the story of how I was given the name "Fast Food Feminist" yet. That's probably like a New Year's Day story. :)

Dinner Tonight: Pasta With Peas

Yeah, I use cream, too -- either heavy cream or sour cream. Also, butter and parmason cheese. I don't use basil in this dish (I leave that for red sauces), but I do put in a little nutmeg. The bacon/pancetta/shellfish you guys use sounds good, but I use salmon 'cause I observe the kosher rules. Shells are great, but I'll use any pasta shape I happen to have on hand.

Dinner Tonight: Pasta With Peas

How funny - I am literally finishing off a bowl of pasta and peas now. I make this a lot, but here is how I do it:

Pasta (or today, frozen tortellinis)
Par-boiled broccoli, asparagus, or brussel sprouts
OR spinach or swiss chard
Frozen Peas
2 tbs butter
2 tbs olive oil
1 tb heavy cream
Garlic
Parmesan
Mozzarella
Parsley
Red pepper flake
salt and pepper

Boil the pasta and the veggie of your choice (or if spinach or chard, leave out at this point). Drain well, and in the same pot, melt the butter and olive oil together. Add the garlic and red pepper flake, and saute for a few minutes, making sure the garlic doesn't burn. Then add the frozen peas and cook through, a few minutes more. Then, if using spinach or chard, saute until wilted. Then add the pasta and boiled veggies (if using). Stir together, and add the cream and parsley. Stir once more, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Once this is plated, sprinkle with shredded mozzarella and fresh Parmesan.
