If you don't want to go to all the trouble (believe me it is very simple) of making the capunti , you can use cavatelli for this recipe: Capunti w/ Cream and Peas 4 clove garlic, chopped 1 T butter salt/pepper 10 oz English Peas 1 c heavy cream Parmesan for serving. Add garlic and butter to a skillet over low heat. Add a good pinch of salt. Saute until garlic is fragrant. Add peas and saute for 3-4 minutes. Add cream and heat through still on low heat. Add pasta to skillet and toss to coat. Add pepper. Serve with Parmesan cheese. This recipe is a little similar to this one , but without the pancetta.
