ORECCHIETTE WITH PEAS
Good and quick dish, of those that are prepared as soon as you count who will be at the table, generous and available because the ingredients are not rigorous, a seasonal vegetable a little cheese and a touch of flavor given by the peas that must never be missing in your pantries. I like to cook in this way, I can not plan menus and weekly expenses, I go shopping and buy according to what is seasonal and fresh, then I take home and day by day I decide what to prepare. Mine is a family that has no precise rules of presence, I could never decide in advance to cook a dish for a certain day and for a certain number of people, no no, there are always changes of program.
But I must confess that so I prefer it, cooking for me is always improvising, naturally having a fairly stocked pantry and a refrigerator with some essential products such as vegetables, eggs and cheeses. I decide based on my desire to eat and according to the needs I have of time, that's why these pastas easily solve these moments. While the water boils and the pasta cooks I prepare the sauce and in 15 minutes it is ready. These orecchiette can be replaced with any other pasta shape, as peas can become zucchini, asparagus, green beans and mozzarella can change with ricotta, it just takes a little training and have courage to try.
The Orecchiette with peas are a first that never goes out of fashion, you will find many variations, those who prefer them with tomato, who with a pinch of chili, one thing that must unite them all.
