Ingredients
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 sweet onion; chopped
1 1/2 pounds fresh peas
salt and pepper
3 - 4 cups vegetable broth or water or combination
1 pound pasta
1 egg
1/3 cup grated parmigiano reggiano
Directions
In a medium pot, heat the olive oil. Add the onion and sauté 3 - 5 minutes until softened. Add the peas and season with salt and pepper. Add about 2 cups of broth or water. Cook until peas are softened. Add more broth/water as needed.
When peas are cooked transfer about 3 cups to a blender and purée. Add the mixture back to the pot with the whole peas and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
Cook the pasta for half of the cooking time. Using a slotted spoon transfer the pasta to the pot with the peas. Finish cooking it with the sauce adding pasta water as needed. When it’s finished cooking, scramble the egg and cheese together and add it to the pasta. Serve topped with additional cheese and black pepper.
