We've eaten this for years, but usually use a can of field peas instead of black eyed peas. Since they don't need to cook long I just cut up some ham and cook it in a skillet until it starts to brown and sprinkle over the top of the meal. It makes it a VERY fast prep and a very healthy meal.

This was good, but no where close to mom's oven-baked version. It does make a TON, so my small family will be halving the recipe next time. We added a little extra water like others, but will use regular pasta next time. The no-boil pasta was gummy after cooking for so long.
