Yield Serves 2 as a main course

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 ounces dried pasta such as farfalle
1 cup frozen peas
1/4 cup packed fresh basil leaves
3 ounces ricotta salata cheese*
1 lemon
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh tarragon leaves
*available at specialty foods shops and many supermarkets

Steps:

  • Fill a 4-quart kettle three fourths full with salted water and bring to a boil for pasta and peas.
  • Tear basil into bite-size pieces and break ricotta salata into about 1/2-inch-thick pieces. Into a large bowl finely grate zest from lemon and squeeze enough juice to measure 1 tablespoon. Add basil, cheese, and oil. Cook pasta in boiling water until almost al dente. Stir in peas and continue to cook until pasta is al dente and peas are tender. Drain pasta and peas well. Add pasta and peas to bowl and toss to combine. Season pasta with salt and pepper and sprinkle with tarragon.

This recipe was a disaster! The pasta was overcooked and the sauce was bland. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I'm not a big fan of peas, but I really enjoyed this dish. The ricotta salata and lemon balanced out the flavor of the peas perfectly.

I thought this dish was just okay. I wasn't a big fan of the ricotta salata. I think I would have preferred a different cheese.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. There were too many ingredients and steps involved. I think I would have preferred a simpler recipe.

This pasta was just okay. I found the flavor to be a bit bland and the texture was a bit too al dente. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had added some additional seasoning.
