Classic Marinara Fettuccine with Parmesan and Peas

Classic Marinara Fettuccine with Parmesan and Peas

Some of the best meals are also the simplest. Classic Marinara Fettuccine with Parmesan and Peas is one of those timeless, satisfying dishes that proves you don’t need a long ingredient list to create something truly delicious. It’s the kind of meal you can whip up on a weeknight, share on a weekend, or enjoy solo with a glass of wine and a cozy blanket. It’s comfort food done right—and it all starts with quality ingredients.

At the heart of this dish is the classic marinara sauce. Rich and full of slow-simmered tomato flavor, it’s what gives this recipe its depth. When made with real tomatoes, garlic, onion, olive oil, and herbs, marinara is a flavor powerhouse all on its own. And when it’s crafted with care—like Le Sauce & Co.’s Classic Marinara Gourmet Pasta Sauce—it brings the warmth of a home-cooked meal to your plate without the stress of starting from scratch.

Fettuccine is the perfect pasta to pair with this sauce. The broad, ribbon-like noodles hold onto the marinara beautifully, making every bite satisfyingly saucy. There’s something luxurious about fettuccine, even when served in the most humble recipes. It cooks quickly, twirls easily on your fork, and creates a hearty base for everything else on your plate.

But what takes this dish from simple to something extra special? Parmesan and peas.

Parmesan cheese adds that savory, nutty, salty punch that balances the acidity of the marinara. Whether you grate it fresh or shave it over the top before serving, it melts just slightly from the heat of the pasta, clinging to the noodles and mingling with the sauce in the best way.

Then come the peas—a small but mighty addition. They bring a pop of color, a hint of sweetness, and a fresh texture that lifts the entire dish. Even better, peas are a quick-cooking ingredient, meaning they can go straight from freezer to pan and be ready in minutes. They lighten up the marinara and make the meal feel more well-rounded without any extra effort.

This meal is fast enough for a busy evening but elegant enough to serve to guests. It’s the kind of recipe that doesn’t need anything fancy to feel complete. Just a bowl of warm, comforting pasta, a few simple toppings, and a little love.

Want to dress it up? Add a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes for heat, a swirl of olive oil for richness, or fresh basil for brightness. Or serve it with a simple green salad and a crusty piece of bread to soak up every last bit of sauce.

Whether you're feeding a family or cooking for two, Classic Marinara Fettuccine with Parmesan and Peas is a reliable go-to. It’s cozy, it’s flavorful, and it always hits the spot. With a sauce as good as Le Sauce & Co.’s Classic Marinara, you don’t have to do much—just cook, serve, and enjoy
