    Pasta e Piselli Recipe – Classic and quick Italian pasta dish with green peas, onion and parsley. 

    What is Pasta e Piselli?

    Pasta e Piselli is a simple and comforting Italian pasta dish with green peas (Piselli in Italian). It is one of the authentic and quick Italian recipes that can be done in a flash.

    This recipe doesn’t require garlic, tomatoes and any fancy ingredients. All you need is some pasta, peas, onions and olive oil.

    Ingredients needed:

    Pasta: You can use any kind of short pasta in this dish.

    Green Peas: Use fresh green peas when they are in season for the better taste and flavor. However, it can be made with frozen green peas as well.

    Onion: White onion, yellow onion, shallots or spring onions can be used.

    Parsley: It gives a lovely flavor to the dish. You can skip them if you don’t have them in hand.

    Cheese: Top the dish with parmigiano, parmesan or any powdered cheese before serving

    Olive Oil: Use a good quality extra virgin olive oil. Do not replace it with any other oils.

    Pepper

    Salt

    Step by step preparation:

    • Bring water to a boil along with salt in a big pot.
    • Add any short pasta such as Ditalini, Shells or Anelli. I have used Anelli here.

    • Cook it according to the package directions or until al dense.
    • Once it is done, reserve a few ladles of pasta cooked water for later use.
    • Drain it completely and keep it aside.

    • Heat extra virgin olive oil in a skillet or heavy-bottomed pan.
    • Add chopped onions and saute them for 4-5 minutes or until they are transparent.

    • Add thawed green peas to the pan and saute for about minute.

    • Season with salt and ground pepper and mix well.

    • Now add a ladle full of the reserved water to the pan.
    • Cover and cook until the peas are soft and cooked.

    • Add chopped parsley leaves and saute for another minute.

    • Finally, add the cooked pasta and combine everything together well.
    • Adjust salt at this stage.
    • If you prefer soupy consistency, add more pasta cooked water.

    • Serve hot with some powdered cheese on top.
