CREAMY PASTA WITH PEAS

Steps:

• For the kids (serves 2): In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until al dente, according to package instructions; add peas 1 minute before end of cooking. Drain; return pasta and peas to pot.
• Meanwhile, in a large skillet, combine cream and chicken broth; simmer until thickened slightly, 7 minutes. Stir in Parmesan until melted.
• Add sauce to pasta and peas; toss to combine. Season with salt. Divide half the pasta among serving bowls; reserve remaining in pot for the adults.
• For the adults (serves 2): Toast pine nuts in a skillet over medium heat, shaking frequently, until golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Add to reserved pasta along with arugula; season with pepper. Toss to combine, and serve immediately.

PARMESAN PEAS 'N' RICE

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, saute rice and onion in butter until onion is tender. Stir in broth and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10 minutes. , Add peas; cover and cook 5-6 minutes longer or until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender. Stir in cheese.

PARMESAN PEAS

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and a pinch of salt and cook until soft and translucent, about 4 minutes.
• Stir in the peas and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook until the peas are soft but still bright green, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the lemon juice and toss. Remove from heat and stir in the Parmesan and a generous pinch of black pepper. Serve hot.

CREAMY PARMESAN POTATOES AND PEAS

Steps:

• Fill a medium sized saucepan 3/4 of the way with water. Add about 2 tsp salt. Bring to a boil and add frozen peas.
• Keep the stove temperature on high and once water is again boiling, add the potatoes. Reduce heat to medium. Boil potatoes & peas for about 15 minutes- until the potatoes are fork tender, but not falling apart. (Check often after you've boiled them for about 12 minutes - you don't want them to get too soft!)
• Drain potatoes & peas and set aside.
• In the same saucepan, melt butter. Add onion powder and flour. Quickly begin whisking in milk as the flour-butter mixture thickens, adding the milk a little bit at a time. Allow the milk to heat up and the mixture to thicken again before adding more, until all the milk is incorporated.
• Keep whisking until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add a bit more milk if it gets too thick. Add in Parmesan cheese and whisk gently, until cheese is mixed in and melted.
• Add the potatoes and peas back to the saucepan. Stir gently to combine. Serve with additional Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top.

HAM AND PEAS PASTA WITH GARLIC PARMESAN CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions; drain well. To make the garlic parmesan cream sauce, melt butter in the skillet skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in chicken broth, thyme and basil. Cook, whisking constantly, until incorporated, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in half and half and Parmesan until slightly thickened, about 1-2 minutes. If the mixture is too thick, add more half and half as needed; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in spaghetti, ham and peas, and gently toss to combine. Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.

GARLIC PARMESAN ORZO

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large pan (grab one that's deep enough for your orzo + sauce) over medium-high heat and sauté your shallot and garlic until tender, adding the garlic towards the end to prevent burning. If extra butter is needed, feel free to add as desired.
• Add your milk, broth, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Stir with a whisk to deglaze the pan.
• With your burner set to medium (I had mine set to 6) add the orzo and stir. Set timer for 10 minutes. Once the orzo starts to really boil and bubble, reduce heat to low (2 worked great on my stove) and continue to simmer, stirring occasionally.
• Once the pasta is al-dente or your ideal softness, remove from heat. Sauce will be thin and thicken as it cools. Add your parmesan cheese and chopped spinach and fold into the orzo.
• Season to taste as desired, garnish with any additional cheese your heart desires and dig in while it's hot!

CREAMY ORZO WITH PEAS AND PARMESAN CHEESE

• Combine the roasted chicken base and water in a bowl or large measuring cup and add the mixture to the pot. Increase the heat and bring to a boil.
• Once the broth comes to a boil, add the orzo and give it a quick stir.
• Reduce the heat, cover the pot, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until the orzo is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
• Stir in the peas.
• Add the parmesan cheese and heavy cream. Stir to combine.
