Sweet Pea Orecchiette
From Jamie Oliver's 5 Ingredients Mediterranean
Total time: 30 min
Servings: 4
Equipment: Stove
- 1 c. Boiling Kettle Water
- 5/4 lb. Potatoes
- 1 c. Green Onions
- 12 oz. Frozen Green Peas
- 10 oz. Orecchiette, dried
- 3 oz. Pecorino Cheese, plus extra to serve
- 2 tbsp. Olive Oil
- Peel the potatoes and chop into ½-inch cubes, trim and slice the scallions, then place in a large non-stick frying pan on a high heat with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 cup of boiling kettle water.
- Reduce to a simmer, then cover and cook for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are just tender, adding the peas for the last 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a pan of boiling salted water according to package instructions, then drain, reserving a cupful of starchy cooking water.
- Tip the drained pasta into the pea and potato pan, finely grate in the pecorino, then toss together, adding splashes of cooking water to loosen, if needed.
- Season to perfection, and finish with an extra grating of pecorino and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, if you like.
