Steps:
- Warm the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until the onion has softened and is turning translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the peas and cook stirring frequently about 1 minute.
- Then add vegetable broth (or water), raise the heat, bring to a boil and stir in pasta and salt (I use 1 tsp of salt and then I adjust the seasoning at the end).
- Reduce the heat, cover with a lid, and cook your pasta in the starchy water. During the cooking time, you need to stir often until the water is absorbed, otherwise, it will stick to the bottom. The water should barely cover the pasta, but it's fine, add extra water gradually only if needed.
- Cook until ready but firm to the bite. Turn off the heat and stir in freshly grated parmesan cheese until melted. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
- Serve immediately with a drizzle of olive oil, black pepper, and extra parmesan cheese if you like. Enjoy!

Steps:
- In sauce pan begin to boil the water for the pasta
- In a large frying pan (enough to hold the pasta later), over med-high heat add frozen peas, and garlic and add enough water to cover slightly
- When water is about gone, lower heat to Low and add in the 3 TBSP of olive oil and make sure to coat ingredients
- Keep a watchful eye, making sure not to burn the garlic. If needed add some water or more olive oil
- Meanwhile, add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until aldente
- When pasta is finished, transfer the pasta to the frying pan and toss so the pasta is coated with the olive oil making sure to keep aside about a 1/2 cup or so of the pasta water (important).
- Serve the pasta and top with grated Italian cheese (preferably Romano).
- Use the extra pasta water if the pasta is too dry. It's also important to add the pasta water in with any left over pasta containers so when you reheat it, it won't be dry and you don't water it down in flavor with non-pasta water.
