Pea Sauce Recipes

Sauce

High protein low calorie "cream" sauce

Taken from Food Networks Healthy Eating section, with a few modifications

I found this recipe on the main SparkPeople site under "Food Focus: Garlic," but it wasn't on SparkRecipes. That seemed silly, and besides, it's from a government source, so I figured I 'd add it to the database.

Roasted garlic enhances this smooth, delicious sauce!

A traditional italian recipe made healthier by turkey bacon and more convenient by frozen peas. Simple, rich, and delish! When we're splurging, we make this with real bacon, fresh peas, and serve it with Farfalle (butterfly) pasta. When we're "being good", we serve it with whole grain pasta. The "pasta water" mentioned in the recipe is just a scoop of the water being used to boil the pasta (it has startch to thicken the sauce and a bit of salt, so it's a great way to give yourself a bit more sauce but with less calories and heaviness than if you add more olive oil). There is less liquid than with the normal recipe because we're using a less fat-filled bacon. Still, it tastes pretty good!

I got the idea of this recipe from reading a round about version of it in a health magazine but played with it a little to make it my own.

Mama Pea's awesome noodle salad from PeasandThankyou.com. It was four servings on the website but easily 6 servings for us.
