Instructions
-
To prepare the Parmesan cream, mix the milk, cream, the grated Parmesan cheese and cook the mixture in a small pot at 100°C, stirring for about 30/40 minutes. The cream should become a smooth and thick consistency.
-
Blanch the peas in abundant salted water for a few minutes, drain and cool down in iced water. Set aside a few tablespoons for garnish, and blend the remaining with olive oil, salt and a little vegetable stock. If you want an even smoother mixture, you can strain through a sieve.
-
Boil the pasta for half of the cooking time in salted water and for the remaining time in a pan with a base of butter, Parmesan cream and vegetable stock. For the last few seconds, add lemon juice and toss together.
-
To plate up, spoon the pea sauce in the centre of the plate, add the pasta on top with lemon zest, edible flowers and fresh peas as a garnish.
