  • 1 tablespoon fresh tarragon, plus more for garnish

How To Make tarragon-reggiano pasta with peas

  • Step 1
    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook 15 minutes. Add the peas the last 5 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup pasta water.
  • Step 2
    In a saucepan, add the olive oil. Add the shallots and garlic and cook 1 minute. Add the tarragon and white wine and cook until the wine is reduced by half, about 4 minutes. Add the cream and cook 3 minutes.
  • Step 3
    Add the cheese and stir. Whisking constantly, gradually add the butter 1 piece at a time, whisking until each piece is melted before adding the next piece. If the sauce is too thick, add a little pasta water.
  • Step 4
    Stir in the pasta and peas and taste; adjust for salt and pepper. Serve garnished with a few tarragon leaves.
