Ingredients

Scale

1 package pasta (about 16 ounces or 450 grams; penne or bowties recommended)

1 Tablespoon olive oil (about 14 grams)

4 cloves garlic, minced (about 16 grams)

1 1/2 cups frozen peas (about 225 grams)

1/2 cup chicken broth or vegetarian broth (about 120 ml)

1/4 cup white wine (about 60 ml)

1 package Boursin Garlic and Fine Herbs cheese (about 5.2 ounces or 150 grams)

1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes, sliced (about 37 grams)

1 tablespoon fresh dill or 1 teaspoon dried (about 3 grams fresh or 1 gram dried)

1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning (about 2 grams)

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (about 50 grams)

1/4 cup toasted pine nuts (about 30 grams)

Fresh pepper to taste


Instructions

Prepare the Pasta:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente.

Before draining, reserve about 1 cup of the pasta cooking water for later. Then, drain the pasta and set aside.

Cook the Garlic:

While the pasta is cooking, heat a large sauté pan over medium heat.

Add the olive oil and minced garlic to the pan.

Sauté for about 30 seconds, just until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.

Add Vegetables and Liquids:

To the sauté pan with garlic, add the frozen peas, chicken or vegetarian broth, and white wine.

Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

Incorporate the Boursin Cheese:

Reduce the heat to low and add the Boursin cheese to the pan.

Stir continuously until the cheese has melted into the broth and wine, creating a creamy sauce.

Combine Pasta with Sauce:

Add the cooked pasta to the sauté pan with the sauce.

Toss well to ensure the pasta is evenly coated.

If the sauce is too thick, gradually add the reserved pasta cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency.

Final Touches:

Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes, dill, and lemon pepper seasoning.

Season with fresh pepper to taste.

Sprinkle half of the grated Parmesan cheese and toss everything together once more.

Serve:

Divide the pasta among plates or bowls.

Garnish with the remaining Parmesan cheese and toasted pine nuts before serving.
