Cooking Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rigatoni and cook until al dente, roughly 10-12 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain and let rest.
- In a skillet, melt unsalted butter over medium heat. Add sliced leeks, minced garlic, and lemon rind, sauté until softened, about 6 minutes.
- Add fresh shelled peas to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender.
- Transfer half of the vegetable mixture into a blender. Add parsley, reserved pasta water, olive oil, and sea salt. Blend until smooth.
- Return the rigatoni to the skillet, add the leek and pea sauce, and toss over medium heat for 1-2 minutes. Adjust consistency with more pasta water as needed.
- Add remaining sautéed vegetables, sprinkle with Parmigiano Reggiano, and tear burrata on top to melt slightly into the pasta.
- For roasted greens, toss asparagus and radicchio with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roast at 375°F for 15-20 minutes. Add to the dish, if desired.
