This week we are looking for recipes, prepared in a blink of an eye and may become a family favourite.
I do a kind of spring cleaning in my freezer. I wanted to use up my peas in the freezer and leafed through the beans and peas chapter from Real Fast Food
*. The recipe for peas, fettuccine, basil and pumkin seed was perfect, a chance to use up the peas and nearly forgotten pumpkin seeds. The
Peas with Pasta, Basil and Pumpkin Seeds
could be another favourite dish, because pasta always works in our family. Ready to eat in 20 minutes.
Peas with Pasta, Basil and Pumpkin Seeds
YIELD: 2 servings
INGREDIENTS:
- 50 grams pumpkin seeds
- fresh pasta for two; Nigel recommends fettuccine, I used 250 grams dried egg free tagliatelle

- 60 ml = 4 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 8 – 10 basil leaves, torn to shreds
- salt
- black pepper, freshly ground
INSTRUCTIONS
- Toast the pumpkin seeds in a pan over medium heat until lightly brown and fragrant.
- Cook the pasta uncovered in boiling salted water until tender.
- Put the peas and oil in a small pan, add the garlic. Season with a little salt and pepper, and cook over a gentle heat for 10 minutes, or 7 if using frozen. Add the basil the last two minutes.
- Drain the pasta and toss in a large bowl with the hot peas and their olive oil, and the toasted pumpkin seeds.

I need more 20 minutes meals in my life!
I like the colors of this dish. The pumpkin seeds running through it, giving it texture would be my favorite part.
I love pasta with peas in the spring, especially a recipe that takes only 20 minutes to make! The pumpkin seeds are a very nice touch.
This is fast and looks good to eat! My kinda meal, looks delicious!
This looks so very green and spring-like! ;-) I’m with Michelle and Zosia–those pumpkin seeds might just be my favorite part.

I would never imagine that something so spring-like and fresh looking was inspired by cleaning out a freezer! This looks glorious and light, yet satisfying!
