Fresh Pea, Mushroom and Egg Risoni

by Micaela Harrasser

I found those wonderful garden peas still in the pods at the market the other day, so got myself a generous bunch! Aren’t they super cute?

Then I thought how about making a nice pasta sauce with them, together with some fresh mushrooms and a lonely egg I had left. The result was super nice (of course haha). This vegetarian pasta sauce is super easy and quick to make (while the pasta cooks). The Pea, Mushroom and Egg risoni are the perfect healthy and no-fuss midweek dinner you need! You can use other (short) pasta shapes 😊

Note that if using fresh peas, it takes a little longer for them to cook compared to frozen/canned peas, so make sure to add them together with the pasta to the boiling water. Eventually, you can even cream the peas to make a super nice green sauce, like this one here. Let me know if you make it! 😀
