Add the peas, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and parsley to the onions. Stir and fry for a couple of minutes, then add water to almost cover the peas. Cook for 10 minutes on medium heat.

Once the peas are cooked, set almost half of them aside and blend the rest with a food processor or an immersion blender into a smooth cream. Add a bit of hot water if needed to reach the right consistency.

Add salt to taste to the pan of water, cook the pasta according to packet instructions, but drain it a couple of minutes before the end time. Place it in a saucepan with the creamy peas and the whole peas, stir and cook on high heat for two minutes. Serve with parmesan shavings.
