Amount Measure Ingredient, Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 lb farfalle pasta
1 tsp unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups frozen green peas, thawed
1/4 cup dry white wine
juice of 1 lemon
1 1/2 cups Land O'LakesŪ Fat Free Half-and-Half
2 tsp unbleached all-purpose flour
1 egg yolk
1 1/4 cups Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp black pepper, freshly ground
Italian flat-leaf parsley, chopped


Bring a large pot of water to a boil. When boiling, add salt. Add farfalle and cook according to package directions. When firm but tender, drain.

While pasta is cooking, melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add peas and cook for 1 minute. Add white wine and lemon juice, and reduce mixture by half.

Whisk flour into half-and-half. Pour into pan and cook over high heat for 4-5 minutes, until it almost coats back of a spoon. Remove pan from heat and quickly whisk in egg. Add 3/4 cup of Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper, and whisk rapidly to combine well.

Drain farfalle, add it to skillet, and toss quickly, until coated. Serve farfalle immediately, garnished with parsley and with remaining Parmesan cheese on side.

Notes: Serve with warm bread or breadsticks.
