Ingredients
Method
- Boil pasta according to its package, adding peas for the final 3 minutes. Reserve 100 ml cooking water and drain.
- Warm oil in the empty pan. Stir garlic for 30 seconds, then return pasta and peas with a splash of reserved water.
- Remove from heat and toss with lemon juice, zest, Parmesan, mint and salt. Add water a little at a time to loosen.
A little note
Add mint off the heat to keep its aroma fresh.
Cooking tips
- Reserve pasta water before draining so you can loosen the sauce without adding more oil.
- Add mint and lemon off the heat to preserve their fresh aroma.
