penne with peas and cheese

Quick And Easy Pasta Recipe

This is my all time favourite ‘standby’ recipe. If I am having an evening on my own and don’t want to spend anytime cooking, or if I am too tired to cook much for the family. It’s also great when you are low on ingredients when you have not had time to shop as you will often find some of the few things left in your cupboard are… pasta, peas and cheese.

There are many quick and easy pasta recipes, but this must be one of the easiest. Somehow pasta, peas and cheese are ingredients that seem to just go together.

You can adapt the quantity to the number of people you are cooking for, and according to how hungry you are. You can use fresh or frozen peas but you could also use sweetcorn

Any type of cheese will do. I usually use a mature cheddar cheese, but parmesan, mozzarella, blue cheese or really any cheese will do – so long it is one you like. I usually season this dish with lots of freshly ground black pepper.

You can even teach your children how to cook it. Great for students too!

Add Your Own Flourish

There are so many things you can add to this basic idea:-

  • Left over pesto in jar
  • sun-dried tomatoes
  • olives
  • Fresh tomatoes
  • frozen green beans
  • broccoli florets

Serve with plenty of black pepper
