Instructions

1 ✓

Finely dice the onion and crush the garlic. Wash and chop the parsley.

Tip: The finer the onion, the better it melts into the sauce, ensuring a smooth texture.
2 ✓

Heat oil in the skillet. Sauté the onion over low heat until soft and translucent. Add garlic at the end.

Tip: Do not brown the onion; keep it pale to preserve the sauce's light color and sweet flavor.
3 ✓

Add the peas and toss to coat. If using frozen peas, sauté until thawed and excess water evaporates.

Tip: Quick heat helps set the chlorophyll, keeping the peas bright green.
4 ✓

Pour in the cream. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer gently for 5-7 minutes until thickened.

Tip: The fat in the cream reduces and emulsifies to create a velvety texture. Avoid rapid boiling to prevent curdling.
5 ✓

Remove from heat and stir in fresh parsley. Serve immediately.

Tip: Never cook the parsley; add it at the end to keep its fresh vitamin content and flavor.

Recipe FAQ

What if the sauce is too thin?
Simmer a few minutes longer to reduce, or mix 1 tsp cornstarch with a splash of water and stir it in.
Can I use canned peas?
Yes, but add them only at the very end, as they are already soft and will turn to mush otherwise.
How can I enhance the flavor?
A splash of lemon juice or zest brightens the sweetness of the peas and cuts the richness.
