Ingredients for Lemon Pea Pasta:
- 2 1/2 cups Antimo Caputo Gluten-Free Pizza Flour, plus extra for dusting
- 4 large eggs- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Zest of 2 lemons
- 1/2 cup pureed green peas (fresh or defrosted from frozen)
- A pinch of salt
Ingredients for Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Additional grated Parmesan for serving
- Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
Instructions:
- To make the pasta dough, combine the Antimo Caputo Gluten-Free Pizza Flour and salt in a large mixing bowl. Create a well in the center and add the eggs, olive oil, lemon zest, and pureed green peas.
- Gently mix the wet ingredients with a fork, incorporating the flour a little at a time until a dough begins to form.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth, about 8-10 minutes. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.
- Divide the rested dough into four pieces. Work with one piece at a time, keeping the others covered. Flatten the piece into a rectangle and roll it through a pasta roller or use a rolling pin to achieve the desired thickness.
- Cut the sheets into wide pappardelle noodles using a sharp knife or pasta cutter. Dust with additional gluten-free flour to prevent sticking and set aside on a floured surface or hang on a pasta drying rack.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta until al dente, about 2-3 minutes, then drain, reserving some pasta water.
- Meanwhile, in a large pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
- Stir in the heavy cream, lemon juice, and Parmesan cheese. Cook until the sauce has slightly thickened.
- Add the cooked pasta to the sauce, tossing to coat. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve with a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan, garnished with fresh basil leaves.
