Pasta with Peas - 1979

More pasta, potatoes and onions

Pasta with Peas is a "very simple dish, it's very tasty and it's good for you," Clara said.

First, you peel and dice a potato. Then, dice some onions and fry them with the potato and some olive oil in a pan. Now, simply add a can of peas, two cups of water and a pinch of salt and pepper.

When the broth comes to a boil, add the uncooked pasta and stir everything together. Now you can finish cooking the dish by boiling it or letting it cook by itself with the stove off and a lid on the pot.

"In the Depression, we would turn off the gas and let it cook by its own heat. So we would save gas. Anything to save anything," Clara says.

Finally, add some tomato sauce and grated cheese on top.
