Vareniki filled with shrimp or other seafood can be served with green peas in a creamy Alfredo sauce—or rather, a lighter version, as this sauce, unlike the traditional version, replaces butter with cream. It takes just a few minutes to prepare, and the dish is filled with exquisite flavors. Vareniki are steamed or boiled in water, then warmed up with frozen green peas in an Italian sauce made with heavy cream and grated Parmesan. This transforms this ready-to-eat dish into a delicious dish, perfect even for special occasions.

The recipes use measuring containers with the following volumes:
1 glass (st.) - 250 ml.

Ingredients for the recipe:

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Cook the dumplings in a steamer or microwave according to the package directions.
In a large skillet, bring the cream to a simmer over high heat. Add the pierogi and cook until the cream thickens slightly, 2-3 minutes. Add the peas and cook until heated through, about 1 minute. Remove the skillet from the heat, stir in the Parmesan cheese, and season with salt and pepper to taste. The sauce may seem thin, but it will thicken as it cools.
