My kids love pasta, and they love this cheesy pasta recipe! The peas are a cute addition, and because the pasta tastes so good, they have no problem eating their peas!
Ingredients
3 cups uncooked pasta
1 cup frozen peas
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup milk (lowfat)
1/2 cup shredded or grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt (add more to taste, if needed)
dash of nutmeg
Directions
Start by bringing water to a boil and cooking the pasta.
While the pasta is cooking, make your roux (sauce). Melt butter in a small pan over medium/low heat, and add in the flour. Whisk until the mixture is smooth.
Stir in the milk, Parmesan cheese, onion and garlic powder, dash of nutmeg, and salt.
Continue to heat and whisk. The mixture will begin to thicken.
Toss the cooked pasta, peas and sauce.. enjoy!

My kids are going to love this! They love pasta and peas! Combing the two is awesome! Easy to make too! Thank you! 🙂
i have a dish similar to this but no flour. It’s a quick and easy side that goe with many different types of meals.
This looks so good! I can see putting some chicken, beef, or pork in here.
This would be an easy weekday meal. I will have to try it for dinner! I love peas.
My family loves pasta, I love that this recipe is easy to make. I know they’re going to love it.
I might just enjoy peas with this pasta. I will have to make this recipe/
Peas are an unusual addition. I might need to give this a go. Anything that encourages the kids to eat more veg is a good thing.
That looks absolutely delicious and tasty! I would really love to try this recipe!
Wow! This is such a really amazing recipe! It looks absolutely delicious I love it!

This looks super delicious and my husband will love this dish! I make a pasta dish with peas and tomato sauce… shells and peas… and it is yummy and this cheese version… even better!
Wow! This dish looks absolutely yummy. The cheesy texture makes it so enticing and tempting. We never go wrong with pasta!
We love a good pasta over here. I’ve never tried preparing this though. Going to save your recipe for later.

This pasta dish is absolutely irresistible! Love how creamy it is!
Yum. My son loves pasta dishes so I’ll have to make this for him. But I’m guessing, I’ll have to skip the peas but you could easily add mushrooms, carrots or other veggie.
This look so delicious and tastes too. I must make some for dinner this evening. Thanks for sharing this.
You can’t go wrong with cheesy pasta, it’s always a winner, such a wonderful recipe here
