Description

Fresh pasta cooks faster than dried, perfect for quick weeknight dinners. Creamy sauce is based on eggs; consider using pasteurized-in-the-shell eggs if desired.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs, preferably whole-wheat

  • 1 small clove garlic, minced

  • 8 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, divided

  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley

  • 3 large egg yolks

  • 1 large egg

  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 1 (9 ounce) package fresh tagliatelle or linguine

  • 8 cups baby spinach

  • 1 cup peas (fresh or frozen)

Directions

  • Put 10 cups of water in a large pot and bring it to a boil over high heat.

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add breadcrumbs and garlic; cook, stirring frequently, until toasted, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in 2 tablespoons Parmesan and parsley. Set aside.

  • Whisk the remaining 6 tablespoons Parmesan, egg yolks, egg, pepper, and salt in a medium bowl.

  • Cook pasta in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, for 1 minute. Add spinach and peas and cook until the pasta is tender, about 1 minute more. Reserve 1/4 cup of the cooking water. Drain and place in a large bowl.

  • Slowly whisk the reserved cooking water into the egg mixture. Gradually add the mixture to the pasta, tossing with tongs to combine. Serve topped with the reserved breadcrumb mixture.
