We like to think of this as a dummy-proof spin on classic carbonara. Though it's filled with flavor and is utterly satisfying, this pasta recipe is also significantly lighter than the original. The whole process takes 10 minutes, and odds are you have most of the ingredients in your house already.
Ingredients:
1 16 oz box capellini
5 large cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1 1/2 cups peas
2/3 cup pinoli (pine nuts)
1-2 eggs per serving
Olive oil, as needed
1. Set a large pot of lightly salted water over a high heat to boil. You can start the additional steps, but once you're ready, throw in the pasta and swir, so the strands don't stick together. It should be done in 2-3 minutes, then remove, drain, and place in serving bowl, with a small amount of oil mixed in, to keep it from clumping together.
