Ingredients

  • 8 oz dry wheat linguini
  • 1 cup peas fresh or frozen
  • 1 ½ tablespoons light butter
  • 2-3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice I used about 2.5, the juice from one lemon
  • ½ cup fat free half & half
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil flakes
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 oz Parmesan cheese freshly grated, separated

Instructions

  • Boil a large pot of water and cook the pasta according to package instructions. About 2 minutes before the pasta is finished, add the peas to the boiling water as well. Drain together and set aside.
  • While the pasta is cooking, melt the butter in a small saucepan and then stir in the lemon juice. Add the half & half, salt, pepper, dried basil and most of the Parmesan (set a little aside to sprinkle on top of finished dish). Stir to combine and cook over low-medium heat for a few minutes to heat through.
  • Combine pasta/peas mixture and sauce in a serving dish and toss until pasta is coated in sauce. Serve with reserved Parmesan sprinkled over the top.
