   1      pound         Shaped pasta -- such as shells,
                        -- wagon wheels and
                        -- radiatore
   1      tablespoon    Olive oil
   1      tablespoon    Unsalted Butter
     1/2  medium        Onion -- chopped
   1      clove         garlic -- minced
   4                    Plum Tomatoes -- stemmed and diced
   1 1/4  pounds        Fresh baby peas -- -or-
   1      package       frozen baby peas -- (10-ounce)
     1/2  cup           Light cream
   2      tablespoons   Chopped fresh basil

In a large pot of lightly salted boiling water, cook the pasta for the time
recommended on the package or until the pasta is tender.

While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet
over medium-high heat, add the onion and cook until softened, about 2
minutes.  Add the tomatoes and garlic, cook for 2 minutes longer, then add
the peas and cook for an additional 2 minutes.  Stir in the cream and cook
for another 2 minutes.  Add the basil and salt and pepper to taste.  Stir to
combine the ingredients.

Drain the pasta and toss with the sauce in a serving bowl.
