Quick Italian Peas

I've discovered a new love for peas lately. I am not sure if it is because I am pregnant or what, but we have been eating them a lot more than we used to. This is a quick and easy side dish that would pair well with just about main course.  We had this pea side dish with some oven baked ham and whole grain cornbread.
