Slice them up, coat them with vegetable broth or oil, add a pinch of salt, pepper, garlic + onion powder, thyme and rosemary and roast in an air fryer (using the vegetable pre-setting) or roast in your oven at 425f for 15 to 20 minutes (keep an eye on them to keep them from burning).

Place one cup of peas in a medium-sized pot and add 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and continue to cook on a gentle simmer with a tilted lid on top. Cook until most water has been evaporated and peas are soft, but not mushy*. The peas will still have their shape (this is okay because we will be processing them in the food processor). This may take 25 \u2013 30 minutes depending on the heat of your stove top.<\/div><\/li><li id=\"wprm-recipe-5749-step-0-4\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: decimal;\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5px;\">Allow split peas to cool down a bit and then transfer to food processor.<\/div><\/li><li id=\"wprm-recipe-5749-step-0-5\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: decimal;\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5px;\">Add cooked garlic and onions to food processor.<\/div><\/li><li id=\"wprm-recipe-5749-step-0-6\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: decimal;\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5px;\">Add spices and chopped olives to the mix in the food processor and combine until evenly mixed.

I like to add a few extra spices to my pasta here such as extra salt, garlic and onion powder, and maybe a pinch of dried basil and parsley, but this is optional for you as your sauce may have enough flavor. You can add your roasted veggies to the pasta here and mix it all up, or serve it on the side if you prefer it separately. Pasta is ready to be served.<\/div><\/li><li id=\"wprm-recipe-5749-step-0-10\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: decimal;\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5px;\">Transfer meatballs to a pan and coat with 1\/2 or 1 cup of tomato sauce and sprinkle some dried parsley\/basil on top. Let simmer gently over medium heat. Do this just for a few minutes and then transfer sauced meatballs to pasta bowl. This not only makes the meatballs look more aesthetically pleasing, but adds an extra level of flavor by coating them in yummy tomato sauce.<\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n    <div id=\"recipe-video\"><\/div>\n    \n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":5576,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","wpupg_custom_link":[],"wpupg_custom_link_behaviour":["default"],"wpupg_custom_link_nofollow":[],"wpupg_custom_image":[],"wpupg_custom_image_id":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pulses.org\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5575"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pulses.org\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pulses.org\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pulses.org\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pulses.org\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5575"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/pulses.org\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5575\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pulses.org\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5576"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pulses.org\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5575"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pulses.org\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5575"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pulses.org\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5575"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
