Instructions

1. Heat the olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and a good pinch of salt, and cook for a few minutes until translucent, adding a splash of water if needed to keep it from burning.
2. Add the peas, season with salt and black pepper, and cook for 5 minutes.
3. Pour half the peas into a blender and the rest into a bowl set aside.
4. Rinse the pot if needed, fill it with water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Add salt, then the pasta.
5. Add a ladle of the pasta cooking water to the blender and blend until creamy.
6. When the pasta is 3 minutes short of the package time, drain it, reserving some pasta water.
7. Return the pasta to the pot with the pea puree, the reserved whole peas, the grated parmesan and a ladle of pasta water. Stir until combined.
8. Simmer gently for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring and adding pasta water as needed, until the sauce is creamy and not dry.
