Ingredients
- 400g pasta shapes
- 400g frozen peas, defrosted
- ½ bunch mint, leaves picked
- 50g grated parmesan or pecorino, plus extra to serve (optional)
- 100g half-fat crème fraîche
- 175g thinly sliced smoked ham, shredded
Method
-
Cook the pasta following pack
instructions, adding 200g of the peas
for the final 1 min of cooking. Drain,
reserving some of the cooking water.

Meanwhile, blitz the rest of the peas,
mint, half the Parmesan and the crème

When the pasta is cooked, tip back

adding the reserved water if it is too
thick. Serve immediately, with extra
Parmesan, if you like.
