    Simple Supper: Rigatoni with Peas, Garlic, Butter Sauce

    Modified: Dec 4, 2020 by Pranika · This post may contain affiliate links · This blog generates income via ads · #sponsoredpost · Leave a Comment

    Hi this is Pranika! My girls like to help decide what is for dinner. And when that happens, they usually eat really well too! I feel like we have more time to talk about dinners, food and whatever else we want to without the pressure of school schedules; summer is a great time for me to cook with the kids.

    Rigatoni with Peas, Garlic and Butter Sauce
    Peas and pasta are favorites here so that was the big request! They chose rigatoni for me to cook, which was great because the sauce really sticks well to the ridges. The garlic and onion give great flavoring to the butter sauce here.

    Cherry Tomatoes with Sea Salt
    For our simple sides, we chose halved cherry tomatoes dressed with a little olive oil and sea salt and toasted baguette brushed with olive oil.

    Bread with Olive Oil
    The family loved this dinner and it was ready in no time! While the pasta boiled I made the sauce, did the cherry tomatoes and toasted the baguette.

    Eating Dinner she made
    Hope you are enjoying the simple pleasures of summer. Happy cooking and eating!

    Rigatoni Dinner that Kids Love
    1 box rigatoni
    1 cup frozen peas
    4 tbsp butter
    1 tsp olive oil
    1 tsp sea salt
    ½ tsp pepper
    3 cloves garlic, chopped
    ½ small onion, grated
    ½ cup grated parmesan cheese

    Cook rigatoni according to package directions and add peas for the last 5 minutes of cooking time. While pasta is cooking, add butter and olive oil to a small saucepan over medium low. As butter melts, add onion, garlic, salt and pepper. After 2-3 minutes, turn to low. Once pasta is drained and placed in serving bowl, add parmesan cheese to the sauce and stir and add sauce to serving bowl.
