Ingredients

  • 8 ounces spaghetti
  • 4 tablespoons salted butter
  • 1 cup white onion , diced small
  • 2 cloves garlic , minced
  • 2 tablespoons AP flour , all purpose
  • ¾ cup bone broth or chicken broth
  • 1 cup 2% milk
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese , extra as garnish
  • 1 cup English peas
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Pinch black pepper
  • Zest from ½ lemon
  • 2 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley

Equipment

  • pasta pot
  • 3.5 quart saucepan

Instructions 

  • Boil a pot of water and cook the spaghetti according to the package. I like to cook my pasta al dente.
  • Drain the water using a colander and set the pasta aside.

Prepare the sauce:

  • In a 3.5-quart saucepan add the butter and simmer over medium heat.
  • Once the butter is fully melted and almost begins to brown add the diced onion and minced garlic.
  • Once the onion and garlic are translucent but not brown add the flour. Stir until the flour is well incorporated.
  • Next, you will deglaze the pan using the bone or chicken broth. Stir well.
  • Slowly begin to add the milk. Once the sauce is creamy and the milk is completely incorporated, add the grated parmesan and Romano cheeses.
  • Stir until creamy and smooth.
  • Season with salt and pepper.

Assemble the dish:

  • Next, you’ll add the cooked pasta and English peas.
  • Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated and the peas are warm.
  • Garnish with lemon zest, fresh chopped Italian parsley and some extra grated parmesan.
  • Serve hot and enjoy!
