I have a friend who is a fabulous cook, but when peas are in season she makes pasta with tuna, peas and tomato. I have never seen the point of that dish. Meh.

Like KC, I make something similar but I’m definitely going to try your version. It sounds delicious.

Thanks for the report, Fiona. Some things multiply perfectly and some have to be changed a lot. In this case I think one could skip increasing the oil endlessly, but it does carry the flavors into the pasta. Wait til you try it with pesto!

Thank you very much! I made it for our tea tonight (well, almost; fussy children meant I was leaving out meat here and chilli there, so I forgot the pesto). It was indeed delicious. I multiplied by 3 for our family of 6 people and it worked out perfectly!

This looks great. Thanks for sending it in to Presto Pasta Nights.

This looks delicious. I make a similar dish with pancetta and peas but I use cream and no pesto, and I’ve always felt like something was lacking. I’m going to try this next time instead.

It looks wonderful, and very kid friendly …make that kids of every age. And wow to the price! Of course if I actually wanted to make some pesto these days – basil being extremely hard to find and hugely expensive here in Halifax…It would probably cost 10 times that.

Thanks for sharing with PResto Pasta Nights. Of course, now I’ll never get Dr Seuss out of my head!
