About

Creamy, tender, full of flavor, farfalle with ricotta and peas dish that is ready in between 15 minutes. A perfect Italian night dinner.
I am a huge fan of shape pasta and farfalle has been my favorite since a young age. However, with this dish, any tubular pasta will work well. I stress on the tubular or shape pasta as you do want to sauce, which you will love, will surround the pasta and give it that wonderful full flavor.
Peas are so soft and tender and give this dish the perfect balance with the cheese.
