Linguine with Sundried Tomatoes

1 cup of frozen early green peas
1 cup of edamamae ( found in the healthy frozen section in bags)
1 lb. whole wheat linguine
6tbs. extra virgin olive oil
6 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
2 shallots, peeled and minced
1 cup or more sundried tomatoes chopped (not in oil..usually it's the produce section)
1/2 cup low sodium , low fat chicken or vegetable broth.
Sea Salt & Fresh Black pepper
1/2 cup fresh Italian parsley, chopped

1. Flash cook peas and edamame until just tender but firm. Drain and set aside. Cook pasta in the same water.

2. In large skillet, saute garlic and shallots in olive oil. Add sundried tomatoes, peas, and broth. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and immediately add drained pasta to the skillet. Toss lightly.

3. Add the salt and pepper to taste. I prefer fresh sea salt and peppercorn always in all of our meals. Garnish with the chopped parsley. ( Parsley & Basil come straight from our garden and we always find great use for them.)
