Ingredients

• 200 g Spaghetti
• 150 g Peas (frozen)
• 50 g Parmesan, freshly grated
• 1 Stück Egg
• 1 Stück Lemon (zest and juice)
• 1 Stück Garlic clove
• 1 EL Butter
• Salt
• Black pepper, freshly ground

Method

1. Bring water to a boil in a large pot and salt it. Cook the spaghetti according to the package directions until al dente, adding the peas for the last minute of cooking.
2. Finely grate the Parmesan. In a bowl, whisk the egg with the Parmesan, the zest and juice of half a lemon, and season with pepper.
3. Finely chop the garlic and gently sauté it in the butter in a large pan briefly, without letting it brown.
4. Drain the pasta and peas, reserving a ladleful of pasta water. Add the pasta and peas to the pan, remove from the heat and stir in the egg and cheese mixture. Toss with a little pasta water to form a creamy sauce, adjust the seasoning if needed, and serve immediately.
