What a delicious pasta recipe, and it lends itself well to halving, which I did. I had the good fortune to pick up some fresh sweet peas at the farmers market and this recipe was just perfect to use them. For dietary restrictions, I did use 1 tsp of canola oil instead of the butter and fat free evaporated skim milk for the light cream with very good results. This was thoroughly enjoyed and I can only imagine how good it is with the full fat ingredients. Thank you Recipe Fairy for sharing the recipe.
