Parmesan Pea Pasta

Instructions

1. 1

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving some pasta water.

2. 2

   While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add finely chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant.

3. 3

   Stir in the peas and cook until they are heated through, about 3-4 minutes.

4. 4

   Pour in the pasta sauce and bring to a simmer. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water to reach desired consistency.

5. 5

   Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to coat evenly. If needed, add more pasta water to loosen the sauce.

6. 6

   Remove from heat and stir in the grated parmesan cheese until melted and well combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

7. 7

   Serve the pasta hot, garnished with additional parmesan cheese if desired.
