40 Things I’m Thankful For

Posted by Lanel on November 13, 2009

10.  Snow.  No, I’m not prepared for it. In a few months I’ll be ready for it to end.  But, tonight it’s just so beautiful looking out the window watching it fall.
11.  Weekends
12.  My stamping friends
13.  A new bank and the nice people who work there.
14.  The new recipe I tried tonight (which I’ll share because it was that good).

Peas and Pasta

Ingredients:

1 onion, diced
1 T olive oil
10 oz bag frozen peas
½ t Italian seasonings, salt/pepper
16 oz heavy cream
4 oz Parmesan cheese
12 oz whole wheat penne pasta

Procedure:

In large skillet, heat onion in oil and cook until very tender and slightly carmelized. Add peas, italian seasons, salt & pepper to taste. Cook for several more minutes. Slowly add heavy cream and parmesan cheese, stirring constantly until cream begins to thicken. Remove from heat. Cook pasta according to pkg directions and serve with cream sauce.

So, that’s the official recipe. However, I left out the Italian seasonings because I HATE oregano and didn’t feel like adding anything else.  I also had a 16 ounce bag of peas and I used most of it, next time I’ll probably use all of it.  Also, next time I’ll add sliced mushrooms to it.  Other than that, it was DELICIOUS.
