Instructions

Warm the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until the onion has softened and is turning translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the peas and cook stirring frequently about 1 minute.
Add vegetable broth (or water), raise the heat, bring to a boil, and stir in pasta and salt (about 1 teaspoon).
Reduce the heat, cover the pot with a lid, and cook your pasta in the starchy water. The liquid should just cover the pasta. Stir frequently during cooking to keep the pasta from sticking to the bottom and add a little more liquid if needed.
Cook until the liquid is absorbed and the pasta is cooked, but still firm to the bite. Turn off the heat and stir in the cheese until melted. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Serve with extra parmesan on the side and freshly ground black pepper.
