Ingredients

    * 8 ounces whole-wheat pasta
    * 3 cups frozen peas
    * 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
    * 2 cups quartered cremini or sliced chanterelle mushrooms (about 6 ounces)
    * 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
    * 1/4 cup white wine
    * 1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
    * 1/4 cup whipping cream
    * Lots of freshly ground pepper , to taste

Directions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add pasta and peas; cook until the pasta is tender and the peas are cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring, until they release their juices and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 4 minutes. Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms; stir to coat. Add wine and let simmer for 1 minute. Add broth, return to a simmer and cook, stirring, until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in cream and pepper.

Drain the peas and pasta; return to the pan, add the mushroom sauce and toss to coat.
