Peas and Cheese Pasta

 I love peas more than pizza.  My second grade self made it known to her whole class.

From Concord Kitchen TN

3-4 ounces fresh spinach

1 1/2 c fresh or frozen peas

1 c Pecarino or Parmesan 

Zest and juice of one lemon

2 small cloves of garlic

2 tbs butter

1 lbs pasta

Bring a medium and large pot with water, bring to a simmer and salt them well

In the medium pot cook the spinach and peas for a few minutes until the spinach is wilted

Shock in cold water if desired (I was lazy and didn't do this step)

Move the veggies to a blender

Add in the lemon juice, lemon juice, cheese, garlic, and a little pasta water

Blend until smooth

Drain the pasta when it's a little under done

To the pot, add the butter, blended sauce, pasta, and a little more pasta water

Cook over low heat adding pasta water as needed to finish the pasta 

Season with more salt if needed

The original recipes called for a mix of ricotta, basil, lemon zest, salt, and pepper OR burrata.  We all think this isn't necessary.
