Easy pasta dish for the summer.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Don’t you just love pasta dishes for the summer. Pasta cooks in under 10 minutes and everything else that goes into the dish takes a matter of minutes. So, in less than 30 minutes you can have this dish on the table and have time to open that bottle of wine.<\/p>\n

This was a Michael Symon recipe that I saw on Food Network. I love buying different shapes of pasta and for this particular recipe I bought a casarecce pasta which is kind of twisted. His recipe called for a cup of mint leaves but I only used 1\/2 cup since hub does not care for mint that much.<\/p>\n

One other change I will do next time is the cooking of the snow peas and peas. I would not cook. I wanted them to stay bright green and have a little crunch to them so I would recommend maybe saut\u00e9ing the green onions a couple of minutes then throwing in the peas and pasta and cook just long enough to heat the snow peas and English peas.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I think some fresh spinach shredded and some parmesan cheese would be a good addition also. And, the good thing about this recipe is that you could serve it hot out of the pan or room temperature. It’s delicious either way.<\/p>\n

Years ago I would have made my own pasta but there are so many interesting shapes available now that I’ve put away my pasta making supplies.<\/p>\n

BLAST FROM THE PAST: <\/span><\/strong>Key Lime Shrimp with Trottole Pasta<\/a> is another great pasta dish for the summer.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Only takes a few ingredients to make this dish.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The peas and snow peas get a quick saute. (The next time I won’t saute, will just put them in with pasta long enough to warm.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Add in the pasta, the pasta water and the walnuts (optional).<\/p>\n

      In a very large pot, bring 5 quarts of salted water of to a boil. Drop your pasta and cook it 1 minute less than package directions. As the pasta is cooking, scoop out 1 cup of the pasta water and reserve.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

      Place a large saut\u00e9 pan over medium high heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the snow peas with a pinch of salt and cook until they start to wilt, 1 minute. Next add the peas, green onion, and chili flakes and cook until slightly golden brown and softened, 3 minutes.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

      Recipe Notes<\/h3>\n\t\t

      This recipe is from Michael Symon I add the green onions and decreased the mint and used one of my fancy pasta shapes instead of the spaghetti.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
