Keeping your pantry at the ready for emergencies can mean that even thought you get caught up in works tasks and projects, you can still get a healthy dinner on the table!

In order to get the most of a pantry, don’t limit yourself to just the dry goods or store cupboard. I consider any ingredient that will keep for more than a few months as a ‘pantry’ ingredient. So I include things like parmesan cheese, tofu, or frozen vegetables part of my pantry.

The recipe below is a great ‘pantry’ recipe to have up your sleeve. It’s perfect for nights when you need dinner to be on the table in 10 minutes or less. Frozen peas are seriously one of the best pantry (or freezer) ingredients. I love that they don’t require any prep and can actually taste better than fresh peas.
