Categories     Main Course

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/3 cup pine nuts (toasted)
1 pound penne (ziti, or rigatoni pasta)
1 tablespoon kosher salt (for the pasta water)
2 medium cloves garlic (smashed)
1/3 cup fresh parsley (any kind)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon fresh thyme (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)
1 & 1/2 cups peas (frozen and thawed, or use fresh)
1 (15-oz) tub ricotta cheese
1 tablespoon lemon zest (1 large lemon)
2-3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (taste it)
1/4 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt*
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup peas (fresh is best)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1-4 tablespoons olive oil (to drizzle)
crushed red pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • In a large, high sided skillet, toast the pine nuts over medium heat. Watch them carefully! Stir them constantly! These will burn in a hot minute and then you will be out 5 bucks worth of expensive nuts. Not that I'm speaking from experience...
  • Once the pine nuts are toasty and golden and fragrant, remove to a plate and set aside.
  • Fill the high sided skillet with water and add 1 tablespoon of salt (it should taste like seawater.) Bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente. It should only take about 10 minutes, but check the package. Don't overcook it. Nobody likes limp noodles.
  • When the pasta is al dente, drain in a colander and return to the same pot. Drizzle with olive oil and stir.
  • Meanwhile, make the ricotta pea sauce. In a food processor or blender, add garlic and a bunch of parsley*. I didn't measure this, just throw in what looks like it will be 1/3 cup. Add oregano and thyme, and pulse or blend until the parsley and garlic are finely chopped.
  • Add 1 and 1/2 cups peas, the ricotta, the lemon zest and juice, 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 teaspoons kosher salt (see note), and black pepper. Pulse until the mixture comes together but still has some texture to it, it shouldn't be completely smooth.
  • Add the ricotta mixture to the pasta and stir it up. Add the remaining cup of peas.
  • Add 1/2 cup grated Parmesan and a few drizzles of olive oil. You can add this to the pot or over each individual serving.
  • If you are serving adults, add a few shakes of crushed red pepper, or if you are serving kids leave it out (or just add a little).
  • Top each serving with some toasted pine nuts.

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

  • 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.
