Toss cold, uncooked peas with pasta, spanish onion, black olives, and your
favorite italian dressing or vinegarette - voilla! pasta salad.

Toss fresh peas with hot pasta and alfredo sauce - get stuff!
1853.2Peas with PastaDEMING::ZANNOTTIFri Nov 19 1993 14:4129
    Here's a quick recipe I got from my Italian Mother-in-Law...  I love
    it.
    
    
    ~Peas with Pasta~
    
    In sauce pan, cook onions in about 1/4 cup olive oil.  After onions are
    transparent (do not carmelize), add Frozen or Fresh Peas. 
    At this point I ad lots of black pepper (it gives it some zip).
    Meanwhile, your maccaroni should be cooking (I use chili-mac).  Reserve
    about a cup of the water from the maccaroni and drain the maccaroni. 
    Add reserved water to sauce pan (about 1/2 cup), and bring pea mixture 
    to boil.  
    
    Toss pea mixture over pasta, and (optional) add remaining amount of 
    reserved water (If you want it to be soupy) 
    
    Amounts vary depending on how many people you are serving.
    
    For 1lb maccaroni (chili-mac)
    1 Large and 1 small onion, diced small
    1/4 cup olive oil
    Pepper to taste
    1 cup reserved water from maccaroni (use however much you like).
    
    I know this sound very plain, but it tastes great and is really easy to
    make.  I enjoy this in the cold months especially!!
1853.3Use up that leftover ham.GIAMEM::CASWELLMon Nov 22 1993 10:509
    
         Add cubed ham and garlic to the onions before the peas. Then
      put this over the pasta and sprinkle a little parmesean cheese
      over that. Got this that nice Italian lady on "Chaio Italia" on
      PBS.
