I love the convenience of one-dish meals. There's so much less to clean up afterwards! This is a favorite option of mine. We love pasta at our house, but we usually have a salad or vegetable side dish with it. This pasta is great because the salad is right on top! I love to add TONS of crispy arugula on my pasta because the flavor is great and I eat less overall pasta. If your little ones don't like the taste of arugula, you can easily leave it out. My girls do, so I just tear the leaves into small pieces for them.
Ingredients
16 oz farfalle pasta
16 oz frozen peas
2 C heavy cream
1 1/2 C Imagine No-Chicken Broth (or vegetable broth)
1 C freshly grated Parmesan cheese
salt and pepper, to taste
3 Tbsp toasted pine nuts
5 oz baby arugula
Directions
- In a large pot, cook the pasta according to package directions. Add the frozen peas 1 minute before the end of cooking. Drain and set aside.
- Meanwhile, combine the cream and broth in a large skillet. Over medium-high heat, bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, stirring often. This may take 15-20 minutes. Stir in Parmesan until melted.
- Add the pasta and peas into the skillet and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. To serve, place the hot pasta on a plate or bowl, top with pine nuts and arugula.
mmm this looks so good, i need to add it to my must try list! adding the fresh arugula on top is genius!
