**RECIPE, SERVES TWO**
1/2 lb (227g) pasta shape that holds a lot of sauce
1/2 cup (118mL) heavy cream
1 lemon
1 1/2 cups (200g) frozen peas
fresh herbs (I like a lot of basil and a little mint)
garlic (I like one clove per person but that's very strong)
salt, pepper, etc
grated parm or pecorino cheese (I like a big pile per person)
panko toasted in a little butter for garnish
If you want the breadcrumb topping, start by melting a thin film of butter in your pasta pot, pour in a few pinches of panko per person, stir and cook until brown - remove and reserve. Rinse out the pot, fill it up with water for the pasta, salt the water and get it coming to a boil.
Zest the lemon and mix in the zest with the cream, along with enough lemon juice to curdle the cream and make it thick - I like the juice of half the lemon, but that's pretty tart. A teaspoon or so of juice should thicken the cream in seconds.
Peel the garlic. Thaw the peas, cool them down with cold water to preserve their color, and drain.
If you have a food processor or some such, you can just combine the garlic, peas, cream mixture, fresh herbs, as much grated cheese as you want, salt and pepper to taste, and puree until smooth - maybe set aside a few whole peas for texture.
If you're doing this by hand, chop the garlic and then grind it down with some coarse salt and the side of your knife. Put it in the cream. Finely chop the fresh herbs and stir those into the cream asap (the lemon juice will keep them from turning brown). Mash the peas manually (just make sure each skin is popped open) and stir them into the cream, along with as much cheese as you want and salt and pepper to taste.
Boil the pasta until al dente, and save some of the pasta water when you drain. In nothing but the residual heat of the pasta, stir in the sauce. Loosen it up with some reserved pasta water, if necessary. Serve and top with the breadcrumbs.

I never would have thought that curdling cream on purpose would be the correct way to make a creamy sauce. Mindblown!

@annbrookens945 9 ай бұрын

I know! Wow!

@gigachad3925 9 ай бұрын

Yes! It works because when acid interacts with dairy, the specific component that curdles is the protein. Compared to milk, cream is higher in fat and lower in protein, so there’s just enough curdled protein in acid-affected cream to re-homogenize into a thicker emulsion. In milk, there would simply be too many curdles.

I gained a new respect for sweet peas after a bad viral cold wiped away my ability to detect flavors. The worst of the cold happened to overlap with the (very short) peak sugar snap window in my garden. Every time I went out to water the garden, I'd snap off some peas and despite not being able to detect any of the vegetal flavor of the peas, I was consistently impressed with how sweet they seemed to be. By the time the cold cleared up and I was able to pick up that quintessential pea flavor, the peas were already past the window for peak sweetness. Because peas played a part in this weird experience, I will make this dish in honor of my new appreciation for them.

If you want to use an immersion blender to homogenize your ingredients, do it before adding the curdled cream. I didn't and it caused it to split, resulting in a watery sauce with dispersed cheese curd droplets. didn't taste bad, but the texture was off.

I think of peas as a very special spring treat, as they are one of the first vegetables ready for harvest in my garden. I remember as a kid being so excited to finally see peas and red radishes in our community garden plot. I’d stuff myself before I picked the rest for that night’s dinner. Even though I’m many, many decades out of childhood, I still have that same excitement with the first peas from my garden.

@gudAsimon 9 ай бұрын

I have made this a few times in different variations, but usually I use cottage cheese instead of cream. Great protoons and less fatty if it’s vegetarian. It works excellent with baked salmon, especially if you add dill to the sauce. To keep it vegetarian, I have broiled canned chick peas in the oven for 15 minutes with salt and olive oil, and added on top of the pasta in the end to keep them crunchy. Good stuff !

if you don't have frozen peas, get some frozen sweet peas, they are arguably the most convenient vegetable. they're affordable, super quick and easy to get reasonably edible, with a pleasant mild taste that goes well with a lot of things and seems fresher than anything else with such a long storage life, and like other legumes, they have a nutrient profile rich in very healthy protein that anyone to whom this convenience appeals could definitely use more of in their diet (the fiber too).

They're great for tossing in with a simple ground beef stew, too. Brown some ground beef, use the drippings and flour to make a roux, add some stock or broth(even from concentrate), stir until you've got the desired consistency. Add the ground beef, thaw some frozen peas and carrots and add those. Probably saute some garlic and onion at some point. Mix it all together. Goes great on rice, mashed potatoes, etc. If you wanna get *fancy* you can do it all in a cast iron, top it with the mashed potatoes and a bunch of cheese, and bam. You have a cottage pie. What's neat is it's super tweakable, you can add mushrooms and stuff too.
