Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the gluten-free pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Once cooked, drain and set aside.

Add the frozen peas to the skillet and cook for an additional 3 minutes until the peas are heated through.
Stir in the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
