Cooking Peas With Pasta

1. Cook pasta according to package directions, until just tender but still firm to the bite (al dente).

2. Toss in about 1/2 cup of "petite" frozen peas per individual serving of pasta (they will be identified as "petite" peas on the package label).

3. Cook peas with pasta for about 30 seconds to one minute, until peas are heated throughout. Overcooking causes peas to lose their bright green color.
Drain pasta and peas. Serve, topped with your favorite pasta sauce.
