Peas with Minted Mascarpone

2 cups freshly shelled peas or 1 (10-ounce) package frozen peas
1/4 cup chicken broth
1 clove garlic, peeled (optional)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/2 cup (4 ounces) mascarpone
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint

1. Place the peas in a small saucepan and add the chicken broth and garlic if using. Place over high heat, bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the peas are tender. The liquid should be reduced to about 1 tablespoon; if not, increase the heat and reduce the broth accordingly.
2. Remove the pan from the heat, discard the garlic clove, if used, season with salt and pepper, and stir in the mascarpone and mint.
3. As soon as the cheese has melted, serve the peas.

Makes 6 servings.
