Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Kosher salt
1 pound farfalle pasta
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 shallot, minced
1/2 cup half-and-half
6 ounces goat cheese, at room temperature
Freshly ground black pepper
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
3 tablespoons minced fresh dill
3 tablespoons minced fresh mint
3 tablespoons thinly sliced chives
1 cup grated Pecorino Romano
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and return to a boil, stirring occasionally. Cook until al dente according to the package instructions, 8 to 10 minutes. Reserve about 1 cup of the pasta water, then drain.
  • Meanwhile, add the olive oil to a large skillet and heat over medium heat. Add the garlic and shallot and saute until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the half-and-half and whisk in the goat cheese until smooth and warm. Season with pepper. Add the lemon zest and juice and half of the reserved pasta water and whisk until combined. Add half of the parsley, dill, mint and chives.
  • Transfer the drained pasta to the skillet and cook until the sauce starts to thicken, about 2 minutes. Turn off the heat, add 1/2 cup of the Pecorino Romano and stir to combine. Adjust the consistency of the sauce with the remaining pasta water if needed. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil.
  • Divide the pasta among bowls and garnish with the remaining Pecorino Romano, parsley, dill, mint and chives.

I'm not a big fan of goat cheese, so I substituted cream cheese instead. It turned out great!

The sauce was a little too runny for my liking. I think I would have preferred it if it had been a bit thicker.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it more if I had added some more spices or herbs.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I usually add some grilled chicken or shrimp to it for a little extra protein.
