PARMESAN PUDDING WITH PEA SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325 degrees. Spray a heatproof glass loaf pan (8 1/2-by-4 1/2-by-2 1/2) with vegetable oil spray, line bottom and sides with parchment paper, and set aside.
• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add flour, and stir to combine. Cook until a paste forms, making sure mixture does not brown, about 5 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, combine cream and milk. Add to flour mixture, whisking constantly. Bring to a boil; add cheese and salt. Return mixture to a boil, whisking often.
• In a large bowl, whisk together egg yolks and whole egg. Remove pan from heat and whisk milk mixture into egg mixture.
• Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into prepared loaf pan. Make sure the liquid does not touch the top of the pan. Cover with parchment paper and foil. Line a pan large enough to hold the loaf pan with a clean kitchen towel. Fill pan with enough hot water to come 3/4 of the way up the sides of the loaf pan. Transfer to oven and bake for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. The pudding should still jiggle in the middle (the edges may be slightly rounded but not "souffleed").
• Remove from water bath and let cool to room temperature. Refrigerate overnight.
• Heat oven to 350 degrees. To serve, unmold the pudding onto a cutting board. Cut into 6 to 8 slices and place each slice on an ovenproof plate. Bake until the pudding is just warm, about 2 to 3 minutes. Pour pea sauce around pudding and garnish with pea shoots.

PENNE WITH PEAS, PEA GREENS AND PARMESAN

Steps:

• Begin heating a large pot of water for the pasta. Meanwhile, steam the peas over an inch of boiling water for 4 minutes, until just tender. Transfer to a bowl. Add the pea shoots to the steamer and steam 2 minutes, until just wilted. Remove from the heat and allow to cool until you can handle them. Do not discard the steaming water; pour it into a measuring cup. Squeeze out excess water from the pea greens and chop medium-fine. You should have about 1 cup chopped leaves and tender stems.
• Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet and add the chopped spring onion or scallions. Cook, stirring, until wilted, about 3 minutes. Add the pea shoots and stir together for about a minute. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the peas, tarragon and parsley and about 1/4 cup of the steaming water and heat through.
• When the water in the pot comes to a boil, salt generously and add the pasta. Cook al dente, using the timing instructions on the package as a guide but checking the pasta a minute before the time indicated is up. When the pasta is ready, using a ladle transfer 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water to the pan with the peas and pea shoots. Drain the pasta and toss at once with the vegetables and Parmesan. Serve hot.

SUGAR SNAP PEAS WITH BACON AND PARMESAN

Steps:

• In a large cold frying pan, lay out the bacon strips without overlapping. Turn on the heat to medium and cook the bacon, flipping occasionally (using tongs) until golden-brown and crisp, about 7-10 minutes. Remove from the pan and place the bacon onto a paper-towel lined plate. Set aside.
• Pour the excess bacon grease from the pan into a heat safe container for disposal, leaving a thin layer of oil behind. Set the stovetop temperature to medium-high heat and add the snap peas into the frying pan.
• Sauté the snap peas until tender-crisp, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the remaining ingredients (red onions, parmesan, lemon juice, and black pepper).
• Place into a serving dish and top with chopped or crumbled bacon. Best served immediately.

PASTA WITH PEAS

Steps:

• 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.
• Then add vegetable broth (or water), raise the heat, bring to a boil and stir in pasta and salt (I use 1 tsp of salt and then I adjust the seasoning at the end).
• Reduce the heat, cover with a lid, and cook your pasta in the starchy water. During the cooking time, you need to stir often until the water is absorbed, otherwise, it will stick to the bottom. The water should barely cover the pasta, but it's fine, add extra water gradually only if needed.
• Cook until ready but firm to the bite. Turn off the heat and stir in freshly grated parmesan cheese until melted. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
• Serve immediately with a drizzle of olive oil, black pepper, and extra parmesan cheese if you like. Enjoy!

• Add half the broth (1 ¾ cups) and simmer, stirring once, until absorbed, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Add the remaining broth and simmer, stirring once, until the rice is tender and creamy, 8 to 10 minutes. (If the rice is not cooked through and the mixture is dry, add more broth and continue to cook until tender.)
• Stir in the Parmesan and the remaining tablespoon of butter. Sprinkle with the parsley and additional Parmesan, if desired.
