Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
3/4 cup white wine
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1/2 cup heavy cream
Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper
14 ounces tagliatelle pasta
Water, as needed
2 cups fresh shelled peas

Steps:

Melt the butter with the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Pour in the white wine and simmer until it has reduced by half. Add the lemon zest and cream, and simmer until slightly reduced, for another 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to the package instructions in a large pan of lightly salted boiling water, until al dente. Add the peas to the boiling pasta 3 minutes before the end of the cooking process. Drain the ingredients well and toss the hot pasta with the sauce. Serve immediately with grated Parmesan.
