When time is tight on weeknights, every minute in the kitchen counts, and the only item on the dinner menu is, of course, a quick-cooking dinner. That's where pasta comes in — especially this week's Most Popular Pin of the Week. Ready to eat in only 15 minutes, Giada De Laurentiis' sausage-studded pasta may look fancy, but there's really nothing to it: Just brown the meat, warm the (frozen!) peas, then toss in cooked noodles and cheese. The warmth from the hot pasta will be enough to melt the ricotta and Pecorino Romano and create a silky sauce in a hurry.
