Pasta Primavera With Asparagus and Peas

Possibly one of the healthiest pastas on my list. Recipes usially call for crème fraiche but for this one I subbed with sour cream as I had some left. For a creamier taste I'd go for Philadelhpia, or add burrata on top as I did.


I drain the pasta over my serving bowl to warm it up before combining the ingredients in it.


Ingredients


  • 80g sugar snap peas, chopped

  • 150g asparagus, chopped

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter

  • 0.5 cup frozen peas

  • 4 thinly sliced spring onions, white part only

  • 2 garlic cloves, mince

  • ½ tsp sea salt

  • ½ tsp black pepper, more as needed

  • 350g tagliatelle, preferably fresh

  • ½ cup grated parmesan, at room temperature

  • ½ cup crème fraiche/Greek yoghurt/sour cream/Philadelphia, at room temperature

  • 1 tbsp finely chopped parsley

  • 1 tbsp finely chopped chives

 

Method


  1. Mix the parmesan and whichever cream ingredient you are using and leave to come to room temp.

  2. Melt butter in a large pan over medium heat.

  3. Add snap peas, asparagus and spring onion and cook until vegetables are just tender (not too soft), 3 to 4 mins.

  4. Stir in garlic and frozen peas and cook 1 min more.

  5. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.

  6. Cook pasta until al dente.

  7. Drain, transfer to a large bowl and immediately toss pasta with vegetables, creamy mixture and herbs.
