Pasta with Peas

prepared for Titbit by: Oh My Chef

This pasta dish is super simple and totally spring-like. We call it “green pasta” for short :-). We used all our favorite spring ingredients: mint, baby spinach, young peas, and kohlrabi. And, of course, Pečes!

Ingredients for for 2 people

  • 200 g dried pasta (e.g. farfalle, fusilli, penne)
  • 1/2 kohlrabi
  • 70 g baby spinach
  • 8 peeled almonds
  • 100 g young peas (we can use whole pods, shelled peas or both)
  • 6 pcs of Pečes, plus a tablespoon of oil from a glass
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tbsp water
  • salt
  • 20 mint leaves

  1. Cook the pasta in salted water as needed.
  2. Steam the spinach in hot water for 5 seconds.
  3. Put it in a higher bowl together with the almonds, garlic, water, oil, mint and parmesan cheese and blend with a hand blender until smooth. Salt.
  4. Slice the peas thinly and fry them in a little olive oil to soften.
  5. Drain the pasta, add to the peas and stir in the pesto.
