Instructions
- Stir in the garlic and thyme and cook until fragrant, about 15 seconds. Stir in the flour. Slowly whisk in the sherry, scraping up any browned bits. Stir in the broth, cream, and bay leaves. Simmer until the mixture is thickened. About ten minutes.

- Discard the bay leaves and stir in the peas and parsley. Pour the mixture into a 9 x 13 baking dish.
- If using pie dough, roll it out into a 15 x 11 rectangle, then drape it over the dish and trim.
- Bake until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly, about 20 minutes. Let cool for 5 -10 minutes before serving.
