Peas And Cream Cheese Recipes

Steps:

• Bring the cream to a boil in a saucepan. Lower the heat and simmer until it has reduced slightly, 2 to 4 minutes.
• Melt butter in a small skillet, and saute the shallots over medium low heat until translucent, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add the shallots and the cheese to the cream and continue cooking until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add the basil(or spinach), Tabasco, and peas. Heat through, 2 minutes, and then serve right away. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Put the peas, olive oil and tarragon in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade and pulse until finely chopped, about 30 seconds. Add the cream cheese and process until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the Parmesan, lemon zest and salt and pulse to combine. Transfer the mixture to a bowl, cover and refrigerate until ready to use. Serve with carrot chips.

Steps:

• Position two racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Spray a 12-cup and a 24-cup mini muffin tin with cooking spray and set aside.
• Cut the ham into small matchsticks similar in size to the hash browns. Set aside and reserve 1/3 cup of the ham. Mix the remaining ham, hash browns, 1 teaspoon salt and some pepper in a large bowl. Divide the mixture evenly among the sprayed cups, using about 1 rounded tablespoon each. Press the mixture in a thin layer across the bottom and up the sides of each cup to make a nest, leaving the edges uneven and jagged.
• Bake, rotating the pans halfway through, until the nests are dark brown around the tips and golden and crisp on the outside, about 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, beat the cream cheese, lemon zest, milk 1/2 teaspoon salt, and some pepper together in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed. Scrape the mixture into a resealable plastic bag, cut off the tip and set aside.
• When the nests are ready, remove them from the oven and let sit until they are cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. Carefully lift the nests out of the tins using a small offset spatula or butter knife and transfer to a cookie sheet. Pipe the filling evenly among the nests. This may be done ahead; the nests can be set aside at room temperature until ready to serve, up to two hours.
• When ready to serve, heat the filled nests until the cream cheese is warm and the potatoes are crisp, about 7 minutes. Meanwhile, bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add the frozen peas and cook until they are warm but not shriveled, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain the peas in a colander, shaking to remove excess water.
• Transfer the nests to a serving platter. Top each with 1/4 teaspoon of the reserved ham, 3 peas and about 1/4 teaspoon chopped chives. Sprinkle with paprika and serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, melt butter over low heat.
• Stir in the flour, salt and pepper until smooth.
• Gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
• Add the cheese; stir until melted.
• Stir in peas; cook 1-2 minutes longer or until heated through.

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in a sauce pan over medium heat. Stir until cream cheese is melted and heated through.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine peas, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then stir in butter.

Steps:

• Bring water, peas, and salt to a boil in a saucepan; cook until peas are just tender, about 2 minutes. Drain and return peas to saucepan. Reduce heat to medium and stir in flour. Add butter and enough milk to barely cover peas. Cook and stir until thickened, 5 to 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Bring a large pan of lightly salted water to the boil. Feed in the spaghetti and cook for about 10-12 minutes, until just tender. (Check the pack instructions for timings - 'quick cook' spaghetti takes only 3 minutes.) Add the peas for the last 2-3 minutes.
• At the same time, heat the olive oil in a saucepan and fry the onion gently until softened and cooked, but not brown. Stir in the soft cheese and warm it through, adding 3 tbsp of the pasta cooking water to thin it down. Now stir in the lemon zest and 2 tbsp of the Parmesan.
• Drain the spaghetti and peas really well, return them to the pan and gently stir in the sauce. Season with salt and pepper, then pile it into 2 serving bowls. Sprinkle the parsley and the remaining Parmesan over the top and serve right away, with a mixed leaf salad.

Steps:

• Cook noodles in medium saucepan as directed on package.
• Meanwhile, cook chicken in medium nonstick skillet sprayed with cooking spray on medium-high heat 5 min. or until done, stirring occasionally. Add Neufchatel and milk; cook and stir 1 to 2 min. or until Neufchatel is melted and mixture is well blended. Add soup and peas; cook 5 min., stirring occasionally.
• Drain noodles; return to saucepan. Add chicken mixture and half the shredded cheese; cook until cheese is melted and mixture is well blended. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, cook fettuccine according to package directions; drain. Add the ham, peas, cheese, cream and fettuccine to pan. Cook and stir until heated through.

Steps:

Steps:

• For the kids (serves 2): In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until al dente, according to package instructions; add peas 1 minute before end of cooking. Drain; return pasta and peas to pot.
• Meanwhile, in a large skillet, combine cream and chicken broth; simmer until thickened slightly, 7 minutes. Stir in Parmesan until melted.
• Add sauce to pasta and peas; toss to combine. Season with salt. Divide half the pasta among serving bowls; reserve remaining in pot for the adults.
• For the adults (serves 2): Toast pine nuts in a skillet over medium heat, shaking frequently, until golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Add to reserved pasta along with arugula; season with pepper. Toss to combine, and serve immediately.
