Cook Pasta

Prepare Sauce

In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add peas and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Combine Ingredients

Lower the heat and add ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Stir until the cheeses are melted and the sauce is creamy.

Mix with Pasta
