Substitutions:
I used cheddar instead of parmesan but Hugh basically says that’s
fine.
I probably used twice as much cheese as the recipe calls
for because I thought it was a bit stingy and I like cheese.

This is definitely not a one pot dish. I used 4 separate
pots! But it was still easy and only took about 15 minutes to make. Considering
this is basically just peas and pasta, it is so tasty! I think this is mainly
due to the garlic that you fry in a load of melted butter and add to the
whizzed up pea mix. I don’t know how Amy made this taste nice without cheese
and butter. One day Amy, as a treat, you should try it like this and I think it
will blow your mind.
I would definitely make this again, mostly because it is
made with ingredients I always, always have and so it is definitely a store cupboard
supper (although in the book it is in the pasta section, obviously). Also, it
probably costs about 10p per serving which is great when you are saving up for
all those porcini mushrooms to make the Mushroom Stoup.
That is all I have to say about this one as it was so simple. There was no drama getting the ingredients and no faff in the preparation. I would highly recommend it.
