Directions:
First, cook the pea pasta according to the instructions on the package. Then start preparing pea sauce. Strain the canned peas to get rid of the brine. You should have about 260 g of solids. Then mix until smooth. Add milk, pepper, salt and dried garlic and mix again. Then take the Olomouc cheese, cut it finely and add to the pea mass.
And you can start serving. Take two plates and evenly distribute the cooked pasta. Then pour pea sauce over pasta, and you can garnish the dish with garden cress or peas.
Our tip: Pea sauce tastes delicious even with classic wheat pasta. However, if you are trying to lose weight, you can also combine it with our ZERO noodles. They are entirely carbohydrate-free and contain only 7 kcal per 100 g.
