  • ¼ lb snow peas
  • 8 oz bow tie pasta
  • Cajun seasoning
  • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Juice of half a small lemon

Instructions
  1. Bring a large pot of water to boiling; add pasta and a generous amount of the cajun seasoning. While pasta is cooking, clean the peas and add them to the pot with the pasta.

  2. In a serving bowl, toss pasta mixture with approximately 1-2 tbsp olive oil, the lemon juice and salt & pepper to taste. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and garnish with parsley sprigs.
  3. Serve with a crusty loaf of sourdough, a tossed green salad and your favorite wine. Serves 4-6.
