This veggie-loaded pasta sauce is packed with flavor and nutritional benefits.
Ingredients
- 3 Tablespoons (45 ml) extra virgin olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled, smashed
- 1 (275 g) yellow onion, peeled, cut into large chunks
- ½ cup (70 g) pine nuts
- 3 cups (465 g) frozen sweet peas, thawed
- 2 cups (480 ml) vegetable stock
- ½ lemon, juiced
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon salt, optional
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
- Heat a medium stock pot over medium heat. Once hot, add olive oil and heat. Add garlic and onion and sauté for 5 – 6 minutes until onions are translucent.
- Add pine nuts and sauté for an additional 3 – 4 minutes until pine nuts are lightly toasted. Add peas and sauté briefly, then add stock, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer and simmer for 15 – 20 minutes.
