PASTA WITH FRESH HERBS, LEMON AND PEAS



Pasta With Fresh Herbs, Lemon and Peas image

Buy a bunch of parsley along with basil or chives to keep on hand in your refrigerator. The herbs will keep for a week if properly stored. Produce departments often use misters, but greens don't keep well once wet. When you get home, spin the herbs in salad spinner if they're wet, wrap them in a paper towel and then bag them.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup finely chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, basil, tarragon, mint and chives
Zest of 1 lemon, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, finely minced
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Kosher salt to taste
3/4 pound pasta, any type
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan or pecorino

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile, in a large bowl or pasta bowl, combine the herbs, lemon zest, garlic, lemon juice and olive oil.
  • When the water comes to a boil, salt generously and add the pasta. A few minutes before the pasta is done, add the peas to the water. When the pasta is just about al dente, remove a half cup of the cooking water and add to the bowl with the herbs. Drain the pasta and peas, toss with the herb mixture and the cheese, and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pasta: Spaghetti is the classic choice for this dish, but you can also use other long, thin pasta shapes like linguine or fettuccine.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: This means cooking it until it is just tender, but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and won't hold the sauce as well.
  • Use fresh lemon zest and juice: Bottled or store-bought lemon juice won't give your dish the same bright, citrusy flavor as fresh lemon zest and juice.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the peas, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make them more likely to get mushy.
  • Season the dish to taste: Once you've added all of the ingredients, taste the dish and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may need to add more lemon zest, juice, salt, or pepper.

Conclusion:

Spaghetti with Lemon, Parmesan, and Peas is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The bright, citrusy flavor of the lemon pairs perfectly with the nutty flavor of the Parmesan cheese and the sweetness of the peas. This dish is also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables!
