Pineapple season is here! Although it’s still a tad colder here in the US than in the tropics, it’s still completely acceptable to soak your vacation-related produce in booze. My hard liquor consumption is fairly infrequent, but lately booze has worked it’s way into my kitchen. I’m much more of a beer and wine kind of girl, but rum has some beautiful flavors that pair nicely with pineapples.
Although this would make an excellent blended drink, there is something that feels special about eating liquor right off a stick.

- 1 cup cream
- 1 tbs lemon juice
- ½ cup parmesan
- ½ tsp pepper
- ½ salt
- pinch cayenne
- ½ cup English peas
- 3 cups Orecchiette Pasta

Directions
- In a pot over medium high heat, melt the butter. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
