• salt and pepper
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1 lb penne, ziti, or other cut pasta
• 1 cup ricotta (preferably fresh)
• 1 Tbsp softened butter
• 1/2 cup + 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese

1. Bring large pot of water to boil, and salt it. In a separate pot, cook peas in boiling salted water, until just tender, about 3 min. Drain, rinse in cold water, drain again and set aside.
2. Cook the pasta in the large pot. While it is cooking, mix ricotta, butter and 1/2 cup Parmesan in a warmed bowl. When pasta is done drain and save 1 cup of water. Add as much of the water to the ricotta mixture as required to make a sauce.
3. Toss the pasta with the ricotta mixture and peas. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, add more cooking water if necessar, and serve. Pass remaining Parmesan at the table.
