Instructions
 

  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced onion and garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Add the green peas (if using frozen peas, thaw them first). Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peas are heated through and tender.
  • Add boiling water, salt, oregano, red chili flakes, and pasta to the skillet, and let it cook for 8-10 minutes on high heat till the pasta and peas and thoroughly cooked and soft. Remove the excess water if any.
  • Stir in the freshly grated vegan cheese and a touch of lemon zest. Give everything a good toss until the pasta and peas are coated in that delicious cheesy goodness.
  • Serve immediately, garnished with extra cheese if desired.
