directions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain, reserving about 1 cup of the pasta water.
  • In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally until soft, about 7 minutes. Add the carrots and stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Add the peas to the pan and cook for 2 minutes until the peas are warmed through and the carrots are tender. Stir in the cooked pasta. Remove the pan from the heat and add the cheeses. Stir until the mixture is incorporated and forms a sauce. Season with salt, to taste. Transfer to a large serving bowl and garnish with chopped basil.

  1. Everyone loved this. I serve it warm or cold!
     
  2. Great...I made for Spring PAC 2011 and I followed your instructions. I did use the mascarpone cheese as well as the cream cheese. I also added a little minced garlic to the onions while sauteing. Will make this again especially for the grandkids.

<p>I am a full time Mommy on the run! I have&nbsp;4 children and a amazing husband. There is a goal I have in this life. To become good at having a menu. Sticking to it. So my family can enjoy meals together. So my children will learn to eat and cook many different kinds of dishes. So fresh food will be top and pre package boxed stuff will be recognized and the nasty stuff it is.</p>
