Begin by bringing a pot of salted water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, add the frozen peas and cook for about 3 minutes.

Carefully drain the peas using a colander and return to the same pot.

To the warm peas, add the heavy cream and butter, stirring gently to incorporate.

Using a hand blender, blend the pea mixture until you reach your desired consistency, maintaining some texture.

Taste and season with additional salt, pepper, or a sprinkle of lemon zest as desired.

Serve immediately while warm as a delightful side for various main courses.
