Ingredients:
- Shallots (estimate: 2 shallots)
- Garlic (4 cloves)
- Fresh thyme (estimate: 1 tablespoon)
- Butter (estimate: 2 tablespoons)
- Panko bread crumbs (estimate: 1/2 cup)
- Pasta water (as needed)
- Heavy cream (1 cup / 236ml)
- Lemon zest (from 1 lemon)
- Lemon juice (from 1/2 lemon)
- Salt (to taste)
- Frozen sweet peas (1 1/2 cups / approx. 200 grams)
- Fresh basil (estimate: 1/4 cup chopped)
- Fresh mint (estimate: 2 tablespoons chopped)
- Ground black pepper (to taste)
- Pasta (estimate: 8 ounces / 227 grams for two portions)
- Cheese (Pecorino or Parmesan, to taste, estimate: 1/2 cup grated)
- Ice cubes (a few, if needed)
Steps:
1
Toast the panko breadcrumbs in melted butter over moderate heat until brown and set aside.
2
Boil pasta in salted water according to package instructions.
3
Pour heavy cream into a bowl, add lemon zest, squeeze in lemon juice up to half the lemon, and stir to let the cream curdle slightly.
4
Thaw frozen sweet peas in water and strain.
5
Stop the cooking and preserve the color of peas by dousing in cold water and straining until dry.
6
Peel and chop garlic. Optionally, use coarse salt to help grind the garlic to a fine paste.
7
Chop fresh basil and mint finely and stir into the cream mixture.
8
Grate cheese to taste and set aside, and prepare the peas by squeezing them with your palms to pop open the skins.
9
Combine the prepared peas with the curdled cream mixture, season with salt and pepper, and mix well.
10
Drain pasta and reserve some pasta water. Mix pasta with the pea and cream mixture, adding pasta water to adjust consistency. Taste for seasoning and adjust.
11
Serve pasta topped with toasted breadcrumbs and additional grated cheese, if desired.
