Joe the Cook in the middle
This is one of my favourites and really is good for you, all those peas.
Ingredients:
Shelled peas- fresh or frozen – I prefer fresh but sometimes I use a mixture – say about 1 kilo of fresh and a handful of frozen
1 onion finely chopped
Wee bit of oil
couple of ripe tomatoes or a can – chopped well
small pasta – I use a pasta called Ditali or Ditalilni but small elbow poasta will do – about 500 gms
So simple. Sautee the onion well and add the peas and quanity of water. Bring to the boil and add the pasta, stirring well. When it comes back to the boil add the tomatoes. Add sal and pepper to taste, will take quite a bit of salt usually. simmer until pasta is cooked. Serve with cheese of your choice.

1 cauliflower – cut into small florets
a little olive oil
water pasta – small pasta again
Bring quanity of water to boil with cauliflower. Add pasta and a abit of olive oil, salt and pepper to taste, and simmer until pasta is cooked

The photo is one of my brother the cook with his sisters. We all love peas and spaghetti and cauliflower and spaghetti and all cook it but slightly differently. Isabella in the blue doesn’t use tomatoes and always cooks it on good Friday.
With the peas and spaghetti I use the same ingredients but once again for the busy cook use frozen peas and I saute the onion and tomatoes together. See my separate recipe for both. These are good recipes if you don’t have much in the cupboard. The full photo is there because I couldn’t get it to crop and I wanted just Joe there.
