Rustic Sicilian Pasta with Broad Beans and Peas - Humble & Delicious

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

Chop onion and potatoes into small cubes.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium temperature and mix in chopped onions and potatoes.

Add broad beans and peas (frozen) directly to the skillet.

Pour in a glass of cold water and wait for it to reach a boil.

Once boiling, reduce heat to a simmer and cover with a lid, cooking for 10 minutes.

Add a vegetable stock cube and a little salt and black pepper to taste.

Boil water in a kettle and add approximately 1 liter of hot water to the skillet.

Add 180 g of macaroni to the boiling mixture.

Cook the pasta in the skillet without draining the water, allowing it to absorb the liquid and starches.

Once the pasta is cooked, remove from heat to prevent overcooking.

Add fresh mint to the dish and let it rest for a couple of minutes to release flavor.

Serve the pasta, optionally drizzling with olive oil and adding red pepper flakes and grated cheese if desired.
