Mushroom and sweet pea pasta

This is my go to pasta recipe, it’s light, quick and easy to make. It can be a nice side dish or a main meal. I make it with veggies only but scallops, shrimp or chicken can go really well with it. You can also add cherry tomatoes, and substitute the peas for asparagus, there are so many possibilities. This past weekend I showed my boyfriend J. how to make it, so next time he can make it for me!

Ingredients:

• Your favorite pasta – We used whole wheat spaghetti
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 onion – sliced
• 1 package of white mushrooms – sliced
• 3/4 to 1 cup of chicken stock or veggie stock
• 1 cup of frozen sweet peas
• 3 or 4 tbsp cream cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste
