Method
Cooking the Pasta
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Sautéing Aromatics
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Creating the Cream Sauce
- Lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream. Allow it to simmer gently, stirring frequently, until it thickens slightly, approximately 5 minutes.
Incorporating the Peas
- Add the peas to the sauce and cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Combining
- Lower the heat and add the cooked pasta into the skillet, tossing it with the creamy sauce until well coated.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan, allowing it to melt and blend with the sauce.
Serving
- Plate your delicious creamy pasta and garnish with fresh herbs to add a pop of color and freshness. Enjoy!
Notes
Leftover Savory Creamy Pasta can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. If possible, keep the pasta and sauce separate until you're ready to enjoy it again. For reheating, gently warm in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of milk or cream to loosen the sauce as needed. If freezing, place it in a freezer-safe container where it can last for up to three months.
