Whirled Peas

Amateur home chef here :) This is more like a cooking diary than a collection of recipes. I try to keep notes about what works and what doesn’t. Yes, I like shortcuts. I enjoy cooking but usually don’t have a lot of time to spend in the kitchen.

1 box Annie's Peace Pasta and Parmesan Macaroni and Cheese

Frozen peas, just under ½ cup

3 Tbsp milk

3 Tbsp butter

Paprika (optional)

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add frozen peas and pasta; cook according to package directions.

Drain peas and pasta, and return to the stovetop.

I find it helps to turn the burner back on to low for this step. Add 3 Tbsp milk and 3 Tbsp butter, mix well. Turn the burner back off.

Add sauce powder and mix until dissolved and sauce is thickened.

A light dusting of paprika is a nice addition before serving, but YMMV.

Would probably be good prepared with yogurt instead of milk, like it says on the box. Someday when I'm not worried about offending the child I'll try it.
