AUTHOR NOTES
This recipe is inspired by the macaroni and cheese with peas many of us all ate as kids, and the “Adult Kids Pasta” that used to be on the menu at the restaurant Hancock Street in Manhattan. They made their extra-saucy version with extra-large macaroni, or chiocciole, which is what I used here.
Rather than mixing whole peas in with the pasta, I pureed them with whole milk and used this to create a silky green, thick cheese sauce. Although the cheesy pasta is delicious on its own, I up the ante by sprinkling butter-toasted breadcrumbs with capers and lemon zest on top.
Tips & Tricks
• This recipe makes a lot of sauce, so if you’re feeding a crowd, you can increase the pasta amount to 1 ½ boxes instead of one. That said, if you like your mac and cheese as cheesy and saucy as I do, stick to one box.
• Make sure not to overheat the cheese sauce-it can start to separate and won’t be as smooth.

So - it's Mac and Peas
That green color is lovely!
Thank ya!!
Looks awesome. Must try this recipe. Thank you
Let me know if you do!
Thank you Nea and the videographers of #Food52. Never heard of Mac & Cheese with peas. I never cared for the stuff as a child or adult (maybe because of the crap in the blue & orange box?) I love that you added a bit wine for the acid to counteract the cheese and the lemon zest would brighten up the other flavours. The absolute best part of this recipe is not using macaroni. With over 50 different types of pasta available I never understand why people don't get creative? Again, thanks for sharing your recipes.
Yes! Even though you don't have to add either to make it delicious, the wine and lemon zest definitely helps to round out the dish
lemon zest is such a nice touch! Definitely gonna try this recipe some time💚
Love how universal peas in pasta is for you cuz I have never even heard of this in my 37 years of life 😂 Looks amazing though! I will try it
haha! let me know if you do(:
Your mixture of blanched peas and whole milk reminds me of a soup I used to make which was just those two ingredients plus salt and white pepper. So good, so simple.
Oh interesting! That sounds so good
This looks really good! I love Nea's personality :)
Growing up, we had mac and cheese with spinach; my kids loved it that way too.😇
That sounds delicious!
Send this to FutureCanoe he loves radioactive food
Hmm 🤔 This seems pretty good.
I thought so 😌
Ectocooler Mac & Cheese
Interesting idea, I have always loved max & cheese with a side of peas for some unknown reason. i'll have to try this. However, it looks like you're making the 4 cups of sauce in a 7 qt - 12" rondeau that 99.99% of your viewers don't own. A more practical choice would be a 3 qt sauce pan or saucier.
Very true! It was just the large saucepan I happened to have on deck at the moment
I really don't like breadcrumbs on pasta for the reason they don't stay crispy long enough for it to be worth it.
She keeps saying "pasta ficelli?" Really fast. I don't know what that is, and its not in the recipe description box. Huh?
I think she's saying, "pasta facile" which is "easy pasta". She pronounces it "fas-i-lee" though I believe the Italian pronunciation is "fa-chee-leh"
Pasta E Piselli means pasta and peas
I agree with Barry. His take on this makes more sense than mine.
Yes! it was Pasta e piselli but good guess! @@charlespascual5508
That aint no mac, quit lyin
Over three minutes to toast breadcrumbs. Is there no producer on these videos? Green mac n cheese. I can't take this seriously.
Everybody had peas and mac??? Nope
Never?!
Interesting idea. Sadly I need to overcome my suspicion of chefs who use measuring cups.
Weight and cups in the written recipe though!
Wait...what? She's cooking something. I'm sorry. I'm distracted. Is this the super model cooking show?
Let’s get you to bed John
