Background

For a midweek or laid-back weekend lunch one of the easiest dish to make is pasta. This pasta with peas and tomatoes is vegan, nut-free, sugar-free and gluten-free ( if appropriate pasta is used). It's also a flexible recipe - you can make it with frozen or fresh peas, pasta of your choice – and serve with some crumbled feta or goat’s cheese if you don’t mind dairy. And if you’d like it a bit spicy, add a couple of pinches of chilli flakes to the onion and garlic.

Ingredients

200g pasta
1 cup sweet peas (or petit pois)
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 cloves of garlic, sliced
1 shallot, finely chopped
10 cherry tomatoes, halves
2 Tbsp chopped mint or basil
Juice of 1 lemon

Instructions

Cook the pasta according to the instructions of the pack.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan and sauté the onion and garlic for 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook for another 5 minutes until the tomatoes start becoming soft. Add the peas and cook for another ⅔ minutes.
By now the pasta should be ready. Using some serving tongs, move the pasta to the vegetables, allowing some cooking water to go with it. Toss, season with salt and pepper. Add some more cooking water for the pasta to be moist.
Serve warm with some herbs scattered on top.
