macaroni & peas ?

That's how we make it for the kids and they love it (as do I).
I could eat an entire bag of peas by itself.

Add some ketchup and I'm there, dude.
edit: Seriously though. Pasta, steamed veggies and cut up sausages has been one of my go-to lockdown struggle meals. No problem with peas and pasta.

Yeah. I like to fry up some beef, add it to the mac, and add peas. Shit's delicious. Sometimes I add bacon too. Cause why the fuck not, it's your world, do what you want with them peas.
I've also been known to add ketchup.

man if I was a kid, and my mom fed me that,I'd think I did something wrong. Why you punishin me ma?!?
I don't like peas though. Tomatoes sound good w/Mac n cheese.

Do y'all put the bag of frozen peas in with the pasta and cook both at once? Or does that end up leaving the peas cooking too long?
I've always just made them separately.
(Also peas are great. Regardless of whether you want them in pasta or not. I think mushy canned cafeteria peas ruined a lot of kids on the whole idea of peas.)

I'd do a Veganised version. My Grandma also used to do mac and broccoli as a kid; hated it but again the same would scoff down on it now.
Sure. Frozen peas are a great quick, easy way to add some color and a vegetable to all sorts of pasta and rice dishes. I'll put them in things like fried rice and tuna noodle casserole, etc.
You can just throw them into the dish at the end for a minute and they'll basically thaw in the residual heat, while retaining their color and texture. Frozen peas are cooked before they're frozen, so you really just need to thaw them and warm them up. Cooking them more than necessary will make them lose their bright color and get mushy.

Same here. Adds a little protein and vegetable matter to make it more filling and nutritious, and my kids will gladly eat their peas this way.
It's not bad but if I'm eating mac and cheese in the first place, it's not to be healthy. Mac and cheese is best as its own side dish to a meal that has protein and veggies as well, anyway.
Peas are a staple of my pasta dishes.
Generally because there's always frozen peas in the freezer so it's an easy option.

Would I eat that? Hell yeah! I tend to like my mac and cheese just plain macaroni and cheese, but peas would make for an excellent addition for sure.
I don't like peas. But I'll empty a whole ass can of tuna into a pot of mac if the mood strikes me, or I need some extra protein. So I'm not casting judgement.
Fuck yea frozen peas are the best. I'll eat a whole bag for dinner. Add them to anything....as long as they aren't disgusting canned peas.
