LEMON AND PEA ALFREDO

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until just under al dente, 10 to 11 minutes.

Raise the heat to medium and sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of the parmigiano-reggiano onto the plain pasta. Stir with 2 wooden spoons to combine. Add the mascarpone, lemon zest and 3/4 teaspoon salt.

Toss well to combine, adding pasta water as needed to thin the sauce to your desired consistency; you will probably use close to 1 1/2 cups pasta water total.
