Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Pasta and Grains

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 stick unsalted butter
2 medium leeks (white and pale-green parts only), cut into thin half-moons and rinsed well
2 lemons
1/2 pound sugar snap peas, trimmed and cut in half crosswise (optional)
3/4 pound dried pappardelle or other flat egg noodles
1/2 cup fresh ricotta cheese
2 ounces Pecorino Romano cheese, grated (3/4 cup)

Steps:

  • While bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil, melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add leeks and a pinch of salt; cook until leeks begin to soften and are bright in color, about 4 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until very tender, about 5 more minutes. Turn off heat. Finely grate zest of lemons directly into skillet, and season generously with pepper.
  • When water boils, add sugar snap peas to boiling water, and cook until bright green, about 2 minutes. Transfer peas to a plate using a strainer.
  • Add pasta to boiling water, and cook until just tender, about 4 minutes (do not drain water). Transfer pasta to skillet using the strainer. Add sugar snap peas. Gradually stir in 1 cup pasta water, about 1/2 cup at a time, alternating with ricotta and half the Pecorino and tossing until pasta is coated and sauce is creamy.

Herby Lemon Spaghetti with Snap Peas image

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Kosher salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small shallot, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, very thinly sliced
1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons heavy cream
12 ounces spaghetti
1/2 pound sugar snap peas, trimmed and cut into thirds
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, plus 1 teaspoon finely grated zest
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons chopped chives
1 tablespoon chopped tarragon

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Melt the butter with the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot, garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is soft and aromatic, but not quite golden, about 2 minutes. Add the heavy cream and take off the heat.
  • Add the spaghetti to the boiling water and cook according to package directions. One minute before the pasta is done, remove 1/2 cup of the pasta water with a measuring cup and reserve. Add the sugar snap peas to the boiling water with the spaghetti for that last 45 seconds. Drain the pasta and snap peas, then add them to the skillet with the sauce. Add the lemon juice, zest, cheese and a splash of the cooking water and cook over high heat until well coated, about 1 minute. Stir in the herbs and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Prep Work: Before you start cooking, make sure to wash and trim the beans and sugar snap peas. You can also slice the almonds and juice the lemon ahead of time to save time.
  • Choose Fresh Ingredients: Use the freshest beans, sugar snap peas, and herbs you can find. This will greatly enhance the flavor of the dish.
  • Don't Overcook the Vegetables: Beans and sugar snap peas should be cooked until crisp-tender, not mushy. Overcooking will ruin the texture and flavor of the vegetables.
  • Use Good Quality Olive Oil: Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice for this recipe. It will add a rich, fruity flavor to the dish.
  • Season to Taste: Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings to your liking. Add more lemon juice, salt, or pepper if you think it needs it.
