Sweet Pea and Potato Pasta

Ingredients:

• 12 ounces fettuccine (3/4 box)
• 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/2 pound Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces
• kosher salt and pepper
• 2 pounds garden peas in their pods (2 cups shelled)
• 6 scallions, trimmed and chopped
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan

Directions:

1. Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain, return the pasta to the pot, and toss with 4 tablespoons of the oil.
2. While the pasta cooks, place the potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water, and bring to a simmer. Add 1 tablespoon salt and cook until tender, about 12 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, shell the peas. When the potatoes have 2 minutes left to cook, add the peas to the pot. Finish cooking, drain, and transfer to pasta pot.
4. Stir in the scallions, ¼ cup Parmesan, remaining 2 tablespoons oil, ¾ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper.
5. Divide among bowls and top with the remaining ¼ cup Parmesan.
