Tasty side dish that can easily become a main meal


So you might be wondering, why are you sharing a recipe for peas!?

1. It’s a really tasty way of serving peas, and to be honest, cover anything with tomato sauce and most toddlers will eat the green stuff 😅

2. It’s very versatile as it can be served alongside your main (my fave would be chicken and polenta), or it can become a main itself by adding bite-sized chicken pieces into the pan before you put in the peas.


This is my husband’s family recipe, with one ingredient that makes all the difference (I’ll let you guess which one)
