Tagliatelle w/ Fresh Peas & Mint
Here is a lazy girl's 8 minute weeknight dinner for you.
Start the clock:
I buy this great fresh pasta that comes from Italy, it stays in the fridge for a while & takes all of a minute or two to cook.
I have some pesto made from the basil in my garden.
I bought fresh sweet peas at the farmers' market on the weekend.

What else can I put in the pan?
How about a half an onion, chopped and sauteed? Maybe some butter. Yeah.

Some white wine and chopped fresh sweet mint to finish it off & a sprinkle of grated Parmigiano Reggiano.
This took all of 8 minutes to put together. The hardest part was shelling the peas, and the best part was eating it.
