Directions
Step 1
Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.
Step 2
Once the water is boiling, add the pasta and cook according to package instructions, usually about 10-12 minutes, until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water and drain the rest.
Step 3
While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the onion and cook for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.
Step 5
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 6
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer.
Step 7
Add the frozen peas to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes or until they are tender.
Step 8
Season the pea mixture with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 9
Add the drained pasta to the skillet and toss to combine with the peas and sauce.
Step 10
If the pasta seems dry, add some of the reserved pasta water a little at a time to reach the desired consistency.
Step 11
Remove from heat and stir in grated Parmesan cheese until well combined and creamy.
Step 12
Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the pasta and serve immediately with extra Parmesan on the side.
