How to make Bertinelli’s fresh and light pasta dish
The chef’s recipe (full recipe can be found here) calls for salt, butter, olive oil, shallots, garlic, red pepper flakes, heavy cream, spaghetti, sugar snap peas, lemon juice and zest, Parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, tarragon, and chives.
Boil a pot of water for the spaghetti.
The shallot, garlic, and red pepper flakes are stirred in a pan with the melted butter for a couple of minutes. The cream is then added and the pan removed from the heat.
Prepare the spaghetti according to the package instructions. Reserve a half-cup of the pasta water just before the pasta is done. Put the sugar snap peas in the boiling water with the pasta in the last minute of cooking. Strain the pasta and peas and stir them into the cream, shallot, and garlic sauce. Stir in the lemon juice, zest, cheese, the cooking water, and place over high heat. Add the herbs, stir, and enjoy.
