Ingredients

8 oz pasta (penne, farfalle, spaghetti — whatever you have)
2 tbsp olive oil or butter
1 small onion or 2 shallots, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
4 oz Boursin cheese (about half a standard tub)
1/2 cup frozen peas (or fresh if you have)
1/2 cup pasta cooking water (reserve more if needed)
Zest and 1 tbsp juice of 1 lemon
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsp grated Parmesan (optional, for serving)
Fresh parsley or chives, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta until al dente. Reserve 1/2–1 cup pasta water before draining.
2
Meanwhile, warm olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion/shallot until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
3
Add peas and 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water to the skillet; simmer 1–2 minutes until peas are heated through.
4
Reduce heat to low, add Boursin and lemon zest; stir until cheese melts into a smooth sauce. Add lemon juice and enough pasta water to reach a silky consistency that will coat the pasta.
5
Toss drained pasta into the skillet, mixing thoroughly so every bit is sauced. Season with salt and plenty of black pepper. If sauce seems thick, add more pasta water a splash at a time.
6
Serve sprinkled with Parmesan (if using) and chopped parsley or chives. A final grind of black pepper and a little lemon zest brightens everything — enjoy, my love.
