This pasta with peas and potatoes captures the fresh spirit of Sicilian springtime. Creamy and comforting, it’s an ideal dish for a family lunch or a cosy dinner with friends, blending simplicity with rich flavours. The sweet, fresh peas pair beautifully with the soft potatoes and the robust bite of Sicilian pecorino cheese, creating a harmony that wins you over from the very first taste. Traditionally made in the spring when peas are at their best, this recipe has become a beloved staple on Sicilian tables. The intoxicating aroma of saffron and the fresh fragrance of parsley complete the dish, making it utterly irresistible. Perfect to enjoy on a sunny day, perhaps with a glass of good Sicilian red wine. Preparation is straightforward and quick, making it a brilliant option for anyone wanting to serve something tasty without spending hours in the kitchen. While fresh peas are ideal, frozen peas work just as well, keeping all the lovely flavours intact.
