Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Faire bouillir l'eau

    Remplis la casserole d'eau à moitié et porte-la à ébullition à feu vif. Ajoute une pincée de sel.

    Tip · Si l'eau bout trop fort, baisse le feu pour éviter les éclaboussures.

  2. Cuire les pâtes

    Plonge les 160 g de pâtes dans l'eau bouillante et laisse cuire selon le temps indiqué sur le paquet (généralement 8 à 10 min).

  3. Préparer les petits pois

    Pendant que les pâtes cuisent, verse les 150 g de petits pois surgelés dans une poêle à feu moyen sans matière grasse. Fais-les décongeler et chauffer 3 min en remuant.

  4. Égoutter les pâtes

    Quand les pâtes sont cuites, retire-les de l'eau avec la passoire et réserve un peu d'eau de cuisson (2 à 3 cuillères à soupe).

  5. Mélanger les ingrédients

    Dans un saladier, mélange les pâtes égouttées, les petits pois chauds, le pesto et la moitié du parmesan (10 g). Ajoute un peu d'eau de cuisson si le mélange est trop sec.

    Tip · Garde l'eau de cuisson des pâtes : elle peut servir à ajuster la texture du pesto si besoin.

  6. Assaisonner

    Poivre légèrement et ajoute la deuxième moitié du parmesan. Mélange bien pour répartir le fromage.
