  • Once the pot has started simmering, add the pasta and cook for another 15 minutes, stirring throughout, or until the pasta is cooked through.
  • Add the frozen peas to the pot and stir until the peas are cooked through, approximately one minute.
  • Garnish with additional parmesan and basil if desired.
