Angel hair with garlic, peas and sun-dried tomatoes

Happy Day After Christmas.

I didn't have it in me to go to the market to buy anything for dinner, so we used whatever was around. This would probably fit into the 15 Minute Meals Category and we all loved it.

Here's the recipe for Angel hair pasta with garlic, peas and sun-dried tomatoes:

Boil water for pasta. Once the water is boiling, add a large pinch of Kosher salt and add pasta. Pasta only takes 5 minutes to cook.

While the pasta water is boiling, heat a large nonstick pan on medium high heat. Add 1 Tbs. of butter and 1 Tbs. of olive oil to the pan. Add in 4 cubes of frozen garlic and a pinch of Kosher salt and pepper. While the garlic melts, add in 1 C. of frozen peas and 2 Tbs. of sun-dried tomato paste.

If you don't have the paste, you can add in 3-4 chopped sun-dried tomatoes. If I had any proscuitto, I would have diced 4 pieces and added it in, but we didn't have any, so I added in some leftover diced chicken.

When the pasta is al dente add it to the pan with a little bit of the pasta water and stir to combine. Finish with another pinch of pepper and a good handful of grated Parmesan.

We all enjoyed this dinner tonight and the dwindling leftover Christmas cookies for dessert.
