Spring Pea, Basil, Pistachio, Parmesan Pasta

Sunday’s are often very busy for most of us.  It’s meant to be a day of rest, but we tend to run through the day.

I am a believer of the easy Sunday Dinner!

Since it’s just my sweet husband & I . . . and an occasional grandchild or two, we do EASY.

If your Sunday seems hectic, make this easy dish that will quickly become one of your favorites. It’s as quick as this post.  I often make this with small pieces of chicken breasts.  You can toss in any vegetable that you like.  You can also use your favorite pasta as well.

It couldn’t get easier and it’s absolutely delicious!

    Your Spring Pea, Basil, Pistachio and Parmesan Pasta recipe contains this final instruction:

    “Season with Salt and pepper & dried seasonings or Remove from the heat and top with fresh basil and parmesan cheese.”

    Is “or” really correct?

    Shouldn’t it be two, separate instructions:

    “Season with Salt and pepper & dried seasonings.

    Remove from heat and top with fresh basil and parmesan cheese.”?ReplyCancel

      Tammy,

      Thanks so much for your sweet note. Time hasn’t been on my side throughout the summer.
      I go up & down as to whether or not to continue, but can’t seem to let it go!
