Recipe by Woman's Day Kitchen Leeks are an essential element in this decadent pasta dish. The key is to clean them thoroughly by placing the cut pieces in a bowl of cold water, swishing them around and then removing with a slotted spoon, leaving the grit

Ingredients

12 oz. orecchiette pasta 1 package frozen peas 1 lemon 2 T bsp olive oil 4 leeks (white and light green parts only) Kosher salt and pepper 3/4 c. heavy cream .13 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg (optional) 2 T bsp fresh tarragon 1/4 c. grated Parmesan (1 oz)

Instructions

Cook the pasta according to package directions, adding the peas during the last 2 minutes of cooking; drain. Meanwhile, using a vegetable peeler, remove 4 strips of zest from the lemon and thinly slice on a diagonal. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the leeks, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the cream, lemon zest and nutmeg, if using, and simmer until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the pasta and peas to the skillet and toss to combine; fold in the tarragon. Sprinkle with the Parmesan before serving.
