Peas and Macaroni

This recipe comes from my Grandmother, Clara Staiti. This is one of her favorites.

Peas and Macaroni

Ingredients: 1 tablespoon chopped Garlic
1 small chopped onion

1 package frozen peas

3 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1 tablespoon Tomato Paste

1 pound pasta – suggested Ditalini

Romano Cheese

Saute garlic and onion in the olive oil until very light golden color. Add spoon of tomato paste and cook for a minute or two. Add frozen peas and the amount of water suggested on package of peas (don’t make it too watery, however). Cook until tender.

In a separate pot, boil the water with some salt to cook the Ditalini. Cook the Ditalini to your taste and then drain. Combine the pasta with the peas and ladle into bowls. Serve with grated Romano cheese on top.
