INSTRUCTIONS
Hot pasta tossed with a creamy cheese sauce, tinged green. TIP: Start with half the measure of olive oil. Add more if you need it to continue cooking. Prepare pasta according to package directions, drain. Meanwhile, in a 2-quart saucepan, heat olive or vegetable oil over medium heat. Saute garlic and snow peas 2 minutes. Remove with slotted spoon. Add petite peas to skillet. Lower heat, cover and simmer 3 minutes. Reserve 1 cup petite peas; add remainder to blender. Add broth, herbs, pepper, salt, milk and feta to blender. Blend until smooth. Return sauce to pan with remaining peas, sauteed snow peas, garlic and chick peas. Heat through over low heat, stirring; to not scald. Combine pasta with sauce. If pasta appears too dry, add more warm broth or milk. Serve immediately with additional feta cheese and/or red pepper, if desired. Note: 1 teaspoon dried basil may be substituted for fresh basil. Each 527 cals, 9g fat (16% cff).
