Pea Pasta Recipe

 SIMPLE & HEALTHY Pea Pasta recipe! This easy to make dinner dish uses fresh sugar snap peas and only takes 15 minutes from to start to finish! It's my favorite Spring and Summer garden recipe! It's completely vegan too!

There is a strong possibility that while you are reading this I am daydreaming about this pea pasta for dinner. During the Summer time when it’s peak garden season this is our go to dinner that we have a few times a week.  Once we start harvesting sugar snap peas by the pound (right now there’s over 10 pounds worth in my fridge!) then we start to sing “It’s pasta time..”.  

Fresh Garden Vegetables

Let’s start at those fresh ingredients, just picked from the garden.  There’s sugar snap peas, chopped lettuce, radishes and one gorgeous tomato.  I counted the roma tomatoes a few days ago and there’s over 200 on the plants ready to turn red. July is going to be tomato time!

Simple Pea Pasta

The sugar snap peas are almost done with their Spring harvest, but we’ve got a bunch to last us.  Not only do I love these peas fresh as a afternoon snack, but peas and pasta go together perfectly.  The peas aren’t cooked so they have a nice crisp taste to them in every bite.

Fresh Sugar Snap Peas

(Ps. If you want to go wild, make Roasted Sugar Snap Peas!)

The worst part of peas is puling away those strings.  I hate doing that job.  My husband and I often joke that if we ever have a child, this will be one of the first things we teach them. 

Lettuce is another vegetable that isn’t thought of as a match for pasta, but it’s perfect in this dish.  If your family doesn’t love greens as much as you do and isn’t pleased with that salad you put on the table, try chopping up lettuce and adding it to your next pasta dish.

  After you chop up all your vegetables, throw them in a bowl. After the pasta is done, we’ll throw it on top. By throwing the vegetables in the bottom, they will be easy to stir around evenly.

Fresh Garden Radish

Time out.  Let’s marvel at this radish.  

Did you swoon at it? Ok, me too. Now moving on…

Now, time to boil the pasta. I love this dish with egg noodles or tricolor pasta!

Now my favorite part, this simple pea pasta dish takes 10 minutes to make.   After the pasta is done, throw it in your dish with your vegetables and pour some olive oil on top.  The always tricky pour the olive oil while holding the camera shot, thankfully I got it in one frame.

Along with some oregano, salt and pepper, mix up the pasta and it’s done!  Throw some in a bowl and admire at the beautiful dish you just made.

I really do love that there’s a ton of vegetables in every single bite!

    This salad is amazing in color, variety of veggies and aesthetic delight. I want to make it just so graces my table. I love that radish is incorporated for just a punch of quiet heat.

    I think reading your blog at 1am is not a good idea! This looks too good and is making me so hungry. I never thought about lettuce with pasta but it sounds like a great idea 🙂 xx
