Peas in a Pan

Peas in a pan, a tasty and quick side dish, perfect to pair with meat, eggs, or fish. In spring you can use fresh peas, but throughout the year you can find frozen ones, which are just as good.

If you want to enrich this dish, you can add cubes of bacon or pancetta. In this case, I decided to leave them as is.

Obviously, peas cooked this way can serve as a base for other recipes, like savory pies or pasta dishes!
