Ingredients

Ingredients

  • Coarse salt and ground pepper 12 ounces gemelli or other short pasta 12 ounces sugar snap peas, stem ends removed (and, if necessary, strings) 1 package (10 ounces) frozen peas 2 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon, plus more for garnish (optional) 1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese

Directions

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta 3 minutes less than al dente. Add snap peas; cook 2 minutes, add peas, and cook 1 minute more. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water; drain pasta and vegetables, and return to pot.

Toss pasta and vegetables with butter, tarragon, and ricotta, adding a little reserved pasta water as needed to create a thin sauce that coats pasta; season with salt and pepper.

Divide pasta among four serving bowls, and garnish with tarragon, if desired. Serve immediately.

Cook’s Notes To trim snap peas, cut off stem end with a knife. Or, if the string is especially tough, snap off stem end with fingers, and pull string down the pod.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       06/04/2010   This recipe was very easy to make, but turned out really bland. Had to add a ton of salt and it still tasted bland. A squeeze of lemon juice helped, but this one unfortunately won't make it into the rotation.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       04/08/2010   This was exactly as good as it looks, which is to say, not AMAZING, but worth making for sure. Also, it is EASY and FAST.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       05/13/2008   Made this for dinner tonight... Both my boyfriend and I agreed that it tasted as though it was missing something. I think it's missing a meat; I may put diced bacon in it next time. He thinks he would probably put in some chicken or other meat. Other than that, it's pretty good! :-)
