This recipe is like spring in a bowl. I checked out the Fairmount farmer's market which is just a couple blocks away from me. There are about 6ish vendors who all have gorgeous veggies, homemade bread, and jam! I snatched up some garlic scapes and basically the rest of the ingredients for this pasta dish. I also like working with measurements like 1 handful as it is closer to how I actually cook. This recipe is from What Katie Ate. You might recognize her books which I've seen all over. Gorgeous photography and traveling and food. All good things as far as I'm concerned. Also this is the back of the latest bust magazine.
What you need:
1 lb/454 g dried spaghetti
1 heaping cup frozen baby peas, defrosted
400g + plain goat cheese (1 large log)
3 garlic scapes, chopped (optional)
Small bunch fresh dill
Small bunch fresh basil leaves
Small handful mint leaves (about 16)
1 handful arugula
Zest and juice 1 lemon
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4- 1/3 cup hot pasta water
8 slices smoked salmon, torn into strips
Garnish with fresh basil and dill and fresh Parmesan
What to do:
Cook pasta until al dente. Remember to reserve some pasta water when straining. Return the strained pasta to the cooking pot.
Add peas, goat cheese, herbs, lemon, and olive oil into a blender and blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Add as much pasta water as needed to thin to a sauce consistency. Katie heats up the sauce but I skipped this.
Stir the sauce into the pasta and heat for 3 minutes or so over medium low heat. Then plate the pasta then add the salmon and garnishes.
Note: the garlic scapes make the sauce less smooth but so much more delicious!
