We followed many of the steps taken by other reviewers. Instead of using water we used chicken stock & doubled all amounts to use as a main course vs. side dish. We also used frozen baby peas (I added them a couple of minutes before serving) This is one of the few times we used butter & it made a huge difference in the taste outcome. As others have said the red pepper flakes really compliment this dish - as does a good shave (or 2) of fresh parmesan cheese over the top. Quick easy & tasty! Read More

This was kinda bland and needed seasoning. I used a different pasta and frozen petite peas. I added garlic and onion powder and a splash of olive oil. I also topped with parmesan cheese. Read More

I thought this was excellent. I tripled it feed my family of four. It went great with grilled chicken. It was so simple and quick. I didn't have canned peas so I used frozen peas. The crushed red pepper gave it a good kick. We topped it with parmesan cheese everyone goggled it up! Read More

What a quick and delicious side dish when you want something different. My husband isn't a pasta eater and he had 3 helpings. Thanks for helping me find something to do with those staple items in my pantry. Read More

Quick and easy and I finally used that can of peas that has been in the cupboard for ages! I used a little more chicken stock and added freshly grated parm. I'll make this again if I'm in hurry (and in the mood for peas...) Read More

I made this using 3 cups water 6 oz shell pasta and frozen peas. I ended up straining some of the water out as it was simply not cooking down and the pasta and peas were definitely done. I did add crushed red pepper doubled the butter and a hearty amount of grated parmesan cheese. The cheese got melty and stringy and this actually turned out well. We liked this and gave this dish a thumbs up! Thanks. Read More

Not bad I used mini farfalle pasta and didn't follow the directions. I boiled the pasta in water then drained it and added the boillon granules (just a pinch) and the butter and peas. The kids liked it!! Read More
