Italian Peas and Mushrooms - Special Family Holiday Tradition

Published: Mar 24, 2017 · Modified: Apr 16, 2025 by Marisa Franca

Jump to Recipe

A holiday would not seem like a holiday if we didn't serve my mamma's Italian Peas and Mushrooms. The sweet peas, savory onions and garlic with the earthy mushrooms make the perfect vegetable side that goes with any meat.

{Piselli italiani con funghi}.

Italian peas and Mushrooms is our special family holiday tradition.

She loved making Easter dinner for our family. We knew that on her beautifully set table, we would find delicious Italian peas.

Italian peas a holiday tradition

 Once she and papá became older, we enthusiastically took on the job of preparing the holiday dinners. Naturally, she wanted to contribute "something," she was an Italian mamma after all. It was always Italian peas with mushrooms at Easter or her broccoli casserole at Christmas. But the broccoli story is for another time. 

It was always either Italian peas with mushrooms at Easter or her broccoli casserole at Christmas. But the broccoli story is for another time. 

There was a special glow about her when she had everyone under one roof, and she was able to feed us. Yes, she fed us delicious meals, but it was more, with every bite we knew she was feeding us food made with love.

To Italians cooking is love

Mamma worked a lot of hours at the cookie factory, but I never heard her complain that she was too tired to cook or to do anything for us.

Her family was her life. Making them happy was what made her happy.

During the summer the three kids and I would spend several weeks visiting with them. My Honey had to work -- this was his busy time so he'd drive us out there then he would pick us up. Mamma took her vacation during this time.

She wanted to spend every minute she could with us.

We've always loved springtime pea dishes. Another one that you must try that's a Venetian Classic is Risi e Bisi. Instead of the classic rice we used farro. The grain is so rich and creamy you'd think it was risotto.

Carrying on the traditions

My Honey and I are truly blessed. We have cherished memories of Easters, Thanksgivings, Christmases, and all the holidays in between. Our parents cared deeply. They made sure we grew up to be responsible and caring parents ourselves. Now, we carry on their traditions and create some of our own. 

Isn't that what life is all about? 

If you'd like to start your own Easter tradition, how about making our delicious Easter Bread with colored eggs? It's delicious and our children look forward to it every year.

Another recipe that's joined our holiday roster is Marsala Glazed Carrots. It's a simple dish that delivers big on flavor and presentation!

Buona Pasqua e Buona Primavera!

      Hi, exactly how much onion is the recipe calling for? It says 3/4 onion. What is the base measurement? 3/4 of an onion, 3/4 of a cup/tbs, or tsp?

        I can't understand why questions are asked about how much of something is required unless it's a baking recipe, or a recipe which requires exact measurements. This pea recipe is, add how much onion you would like. Some people like more, some like less. And it's fresh onion, why would you only add a tsp.

          Ciao Marie! Some people are unfamiliar with cooking and measuring quantities. This gives them a starting point. We love onions and garlic, but not everyone shares our affection for them. I take every question seriously and try to answer to the best of my ability. Do you have a favorite recipe?

      I made these for Easter dinner last night and they were very tasty. I wanted to make peas with pearl onions but the store was out of them so I looked around for a recipe using chopped onions and found yours. I followed the recipe exactly only leaving out the Italian seasoning as I thought they were flavorful enough. Thanks for sharing.

      Cherished family memories are gold. As a gramma I am trying to make sure that my beautiful grandkids have special moments to remember as well. Coming from a Ukrainian family, mom and baba would always make holidays special with their wonderful cooking. Simple, yet perfect. I really miss those days and eating those meals. I have never had peas this way, but I love peas and mushrooms, so I will have to give it a try.

      Such a sweet sweet story, Marisa! I love to hear of your family traditions! And another great recipe to try. I'm discovering that my KY roots have sheltered me from a lot of types of cooking other than 'down home' style, lol.

        Hey!! There's nothing wrong with down home cooking. We spend about six months out of the year in the South. I really love remembering about my folks -- makes them seem like they are still here. Hugs!

      I learned a new phrase. Quanto Basta. I love it! And I can't wait to try this recipe. Peas and mushrooms are two of my favorites.

        Hi, Amy! If my readers approve, I plan on using a few more terms and phrases with explanations. If you look at an Italian recipe sometimes they'll use just the abbreviation QB much like we'd use tsp. Buona giornata!

      You are so lucky to have spent such wonderful memories with your mama. My mama has lived far away from me almost all my life. But the little time that my kids spent with her they still treasure. They miss her very much. These peas truly are special.

        Hi, Veena! Yes, I am lucky to have had the time with my folks -- I just wish I had more. Now that I'm blogging there are so many more things I want to know. If I have any advice for children it's to ask the questions when you still have your folks. Have a great weekend!

      Lovely post Marisa, I can tell you Italians sure know how to cook peas. I now love peas and so do my kids. These sound amazing. Thanks Marisa. Have a beautiful Sunday.

        There were times when my kids balked at eating vegetables -- but they always gobbled up my mamma's peas. Have a wonderful weekend.

      Oh Marisa! Does this recipe bring back memories. My mama used to make it, too. I haven't had it in years (my husband won't eat vegetables). I am going to make this recipe soon--even if I have to eat it for days---that will make-up for all the years I didn't eat it! Thank you, thank you for this post! And have a wonderful Easter with your family.

      Wonderful memories - they are so great to have. And, as with all Italians, they usually are around some kind of recipe or dish. Peas and mushrooms a classic.
