That green color is lovely!

[@neaarentzen]

Thank ya!!

[@GregCurtin45]

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.

[@neaarentzen]

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

[@yunhsuanhuang7001]

lemon zest is such a nice touch! Definitely gonna try this recipe some time💚

[@hassanmahomed1748]

Looks awesome. Must try this recipe. Thank you

[@neaarentzen]

Let me know if you do!

[@Bradimus1]

So - it's Mac and Peas

[@swisski]

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.

[@neaarentzen]

Oh interesting! That sounds so good

[@houseofiii]

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

[@neaarentzen]

haha! let me know if you do(:

[@cpp8227]

Growing up, we had mac and cheese with spinach; my kids loved it that way too.😇

[@neaarentzen]

That sounds delicious!

[@kaminidandapani9047]

Ectocooler Mac & Cheese

[@engineerncook6138]

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.

[@neaarentzen]

Very true! It was just the large saucepan I happened to have on deck at the moment

[@FishareFriendsNotFood972]

I really don't like breadcrumbs on pasta for the reason they don't stay crispy long enough for it to be worth it.

[@rebeccabrandt2505]

She keeps saying "pasta ficelli?" Really fast. I don't know what that is, and its not in the recipe description box. Huh?

[@charlespascual5508]

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"

[@barrymasculine8812]

Pasta E Piselli means pasta and peas

[@charlespascual5508]

I agree with Barry. His take on this makes more sense than mine.

[@neaarentzen]

Yes! it was Pasta e piselli but good guess! @@charlespascual5508

[@texnessa]

Over three minutes to toast breadcrumbs. Is there no producer on these videos? Green mac n cheese. I can't take this seriously.

[@Bakarost]

That aint no mac, quit lyin

[@kharrell8356]

Everybody had peas and mac??? Nope

[@neaarentzen]

Never?!

[@jonminton1878]

Interesting idea. Sadly I need to overcome my suspicion of chefs who use measuring cups.

[@neaarentzen]

Weight and cups in the written recipe though!

[@johndough8219]

Wait...what? She's cooking something. I'm sorry. I'm distracted. Is this the super model cooking show?
