parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast provides a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is a more budget-friendly option for cooking.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat until very hot.

Add chopped onion and sear until they color up quickly.

Add a small amount of water and cover to stew and soften the onions.

Cut the ham into small chunks and add to the skillet.

Roughly chop 2 or 3 cloves of garlic and add to the skillet.

Add fresh peas to the skillet and stir.

Add a little bit of water if the mixture is too dry to help stew the peas down.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Serve in a warm bowl with lots of flat leaf parsley stirred in.
