The simplest way to create a meal that’s fast and easy but still tasty is by focusing on a few thoughtfully paired powerhouse ingredients. In this case, that’s mint for fresh herbiness, peas for a touch of sweet green, and pine nuts for a hint of buttery flavor and crunch. When tossed into this quick, creamy pasta, they create contrasts and combos that feel new with each bite.

Instructions

Prep

1

Wash and dry all produce. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Pick mint leaves from stems; discard stems. Roughly chop leaves. Mince or grate garlic.

Toast Pine Nuts

2

Heat a large, empty pan over medium-low heat. Add pine nuts and toast, tossing frequently, until lightly browned and fragrant, 2-3 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.

Boil Pasta and Peas

3

Once water is boiling, add penne to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until just shy of al dente, about 7 minutes. Add peas to pot and continue cooking until peas are tender and penne is al dente, 2-3 minutes more. Carefully scoop out and reserve ½ cup pasta cooking water, then drain.

Cook Garlic

4

Heat a drizzle of olive oil in pan used for pine nuts over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Toss Pasta

5

Stir penne, peas, sour cream, stock concentrate, half the Parmesan, and ¼ cup pasta cooking water into pan. Gently toss over medium heat until a thick, creamy sauce forms, 3-4 minutes. (TIP: Add another splash or two of pasta cooking water if sauce seems dry.) Season with salt and pepper.

Plate and Serve

6

Divide penne mixture between plates. Sprinkle with mint (to taste), pine nuts, and remaining Parmesan.
