How To Make fettuccine with lima beans, peas, and leeks

• 
  Step 1
  Cook the pasta according to the package directions, adding the beans and peas during the last 2 minutes of cooking; drain.
• 
  Step 2
  In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the leeks and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender (but not brown), about 8 to 10 minutes. Add the cream and cook until slightly thickened, 3 to 4 minutes more.
• 
  Step 3
  Add the pasta and tarragon to the skillet and toss to combine. Sprinkle with the cheese before serving.
• Step 4
  TO CLEAN LEEKS: Fill a bowl with cold water, add the cut leeks and swish them around a few times. With your hands loosely cupped, scoop up the leeks and place them on a plate. The grit will be left behind in the bowl. Discard the water and grit and repeat until the water remains clear.
