If spring had a flavor, it would taste like peas: sweet, snappy, and just grassy enough to remind you that winter is finally over. English peas, sugar snaps, snow peas, frozen peas—we’re not picky, and neither should you be. (In fact, we have more ways to use frozen peas, right over here →)
Below, you’ll find our favorite pea recipes for every kind of mood and meal: silky spring pasta dishes that lean creamy without feeling heavy, crunchy salads that barely need cooking, and brothy bowls that somehow taste like sunshine in soup form. There are fritters with crispy edges, stir-fries that come together in minutes, and plenty of ways to fold a ton of peas into whatever you’re already making for dinner.
