Spaghetti with Peas and Parmesan

Ingredients

• 8 oz spaghetti
• 1 cup frozen peas
• ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

1. 1

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the 8 oz spaghetti and cook until al dente, about 9-11 minutes, stirring occasionally.

2. 2

   While the pasta cooks, heat the 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the 2 minced garlic cloves and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute, stirring constantly.

3. 3

   Add the 1 cup frozen peas to the skillet and cook until heated through, about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper.

4. 4

   Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the spaghetti. Add the spaghetti to the skillet with the peas, along with the 1/2 cup grated Parmesan and a splash of the reserved pasta water. Toss everything together until the cheese melts and coats the pasta, about 1-2 minutes.

5. 5

   Remove from heat and stir in the 2 tbsp chopped parsley. Serve immediately with extra Parmesan on top if desired.
