Lemon Pasta With Peas

All right, five and dime

Let's do it, guys. Y'all, this is one of my favorite segments

This is Paula's five and dime. Now, that means five ingredients in under 10 minutes

How many of you girls have to go home every night and create a supper within a matter of a few minutes

A lot of y'all. How many of you guys have to do the same thing? Yes, yes

There's so many women out there that now help earn a living

But you're still expected to produce a meal, tend to the children

This is sometimes very challenging to get a meal together at a reasonable time

Well, I think y'all are gonna love this one. All right, now, Jamie has put our spaghetti noodles in our pot

and those are going to take about nine minutes. You want to tell them what our five ingredients are, son

Well, pasta's one. It's kind of, don't get fooled by this. The garlic, we call that free

because most people have garlic in their house, right? Yes, seasonings, seasonings

And I think butter is free. No, butter is not free. Butter's free

Butter is free. Good. Butter should be free. So if you guys got butter and garlic at your house

the five ingredients that you need are heavy cream. We have Parmesan cheese

We've got some frozen peas that we've thawed, and we're gonna put a lemon in here too

This is really good, because you can add, if you're doing the six and dime

six and 10, you could throw in... That would be six and 11. You could throw in some chicken

and this is a really simple dish, like for both of my boys this is something they would eat up being three and eight years old And lemon gives it a really fresh good flavor too So we love peas We love pasta We love lemon We love heavy cream A little bit of chicken and you really have a nice meal

Jamie, let me salt that water. I already did. Oh, you did? Okay, good

All right, let's make sure that's turned up as high as it'll go. And the first thing if you would do while you're down there, son, is zest the lemon

Okay. Because I'm gonna need the juice and the zest from one lemon

and it's much easier to zest before you juice it. I've used two nice fat pods of garlic

and I'm gonna put in a half a stick of butter. And my pan has gotten warm

I'm gonna put my garlic into my butter, and you want to be very careful, y'all

because garlic will burn very quickly. So you got to make sure you watch that pot good

and keep that garlic stirred because once garlic has gotten real brown

it can be kind of bitter. And you don't want it bitter. You just want that flavor from that garlic

to get in that butter and that milk. So I'm going to be pouring in a half a cup of heavy cream

maybe a little bit more, which is the way I like it. All right, we have got frozen green peas

We're going to need a cup of those in a minute. All right, my butter's melting, y'all

Jamie, you better put that lid on that pasta, son, so it can cook. I'm going to stir it so it doesn't stick

Have you ever heard people say put oil in your water where your pasta is

Yes. But I heard really don do that You don need it It just kind of wastes the oil and it makes it more greasy So if you just take a minute and remember to stir it up I don think you have to put oil in it Okay now we going to let this cook I got my eye on kind of high So we going to let that

reduce down a little bit. Son, if I could have my lemon juice, please. If you would just juice

this right over here into our heavy cream other way, baby. Okay, any way you want to do it

is what I say. Now, I'm going to put in about three-fourths a cup of Parmesan cheese

It already smells good, doesn't it, y'all? All right, salt. A little pepper

You might choose to use white pepper on this, but I'm not opposed to the little black specks at all

All right, I'm going to measure out about a cup of the frozen green peas

Whoa. Jamie, please leave the lid on our pasta. All right, we got our peas in there

We got our lemon juice. We're letting that cook down a little bit

I'm going to taste it for seasoning. Oh, my grannies. That is so good

So simple and so good. Man, that is awesome. All right, we're gonna crack that lid

so it won't bubble over. But burn, baby, burn. Two minutes? Two minutes

We got plenty of time. One minute. All right, now, one minute. Watch it, Patty

Watch it. Y let me know when we got 30 seconds left Pat I want this steamin hot because I gonna add that that pasta to it And I going to toss that pasta in this delicious lemony cream sauce

Do I have 30 seconds, Pat? It's done. Well, it's not as done

as I would like, but it's as done as it's going to get. I want this to drain real good

because I don't want that water in here. Okay. Eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one

Oki-doki. Looks beautiful. So good. And a little cheese on top

All right, now I've got to get a clean fork. Oh, you know what

Look over here. A piece of butter then fell on my pasta

I cannot believe it. Straight onto my pasta it fell. Now who loves pasta

Everybody. Everybody. Everybody. Thank you. It's so hot. And so good

Y'all, this is not the only recipe that's in my five and dime category
