Pasta and Peas Risotto Style, a super quick recipe for a first course that is simple and tasty, perfect to prepare with either fresh peas or frozen peas.

A simple recipe that is ready in less than half an hour with very few ingredients and satisfies the whole family. It is a dish halfway between a soup and dry pasta, since the pasta is cooked in the style of a risotto, that is, added directly to the pot with the peas and cooked by gradually adding boiling water, just like a risotto: therefore, we will need only one tall pot. Pasta and peas is a vegetarian dish perfect for a tasty and nutritious lunch or dinner. For me, pasta and peas is the perfect comfort food
