O rețetă italiană clasică, plină de prospețime: paste tagliatelle învăluite într-o cremă fină de mazăre dulce, mentă parfumată, unt cremos și parmezan maturat.
Preparation method
Preparing the base and simmering the peas
Peel and finely chop the yellow onion, and lightly crush the garlic cloves. In a large pan, add 30 ml of extra virgin olive oil and half of the 82% fat butter (20 g).
Sauté the onion over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until translucent and soft, then add the garlic cloves and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the 400 g of frozen peas and a ladle of warm water (about 100 ml). Simmer the peas covered for 5-6 minutes, until tender and bright green.
Chef's tip
For an emulsion worthy of an Italian restaurant, do not skip the pasta cooking water: the starch in it binds with the butter and Parmesan into a silky sauce without the need for heavy cream.
Frozen peas are flash-frozen within hours of harvesting, preserving their natural sweetness and vibrant color better than fresh peas stored for several days.
