I love that you use fresh peas for this in the US, most pea soups are made with dried peas

Great hearty one dish meal for St Patrick’s Day. I liked that it uses common ingredients and makes a lot.The pepper gives it a tiny kick which my family surprisingly loved. Will definitely make again. Taste is excellent! Can be made with 1 pound of hamburger just add a bit more peas and/or noodles. I also think you could add cooked diced potato and that also would be good. It’s Irish spaghetti after all! Thank you for this recipe.
