Method:

1. Cook the pasta according to the packet directions. Drain and return to the pan.

2. Meanwhile, gently stew the peas in the olive oil in a covered saucepan for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Don't have the heat too high or you will fry (sauté) rather than stew them.

3. Add the remaining ingredients with seasoning to taste, stir well and simmer for a further 2-3 minutes.

4. Add to the tagliarini, toss well and serve hot.
