Snow Pea Linguine

The Washington Post, March 21, 2007

Summary:

An easy and pretty side dish that takes 15 minutes to make, start to finish.

4 side-dish servings

Ingredients:

Directions:

Trim the tips and stem ends from the snow peas. Stack a couple of peas at a time and, with a very sharp knife, cut them lengthwise into the thinnest possible julienne (very thin strips); this should yield about 4 cups. Discard the snow pea strings.

Combine the snow peas, chicken stock or broth, butter and salt in a medium saucepan. Cover, place over medium heat and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the snow peas are tender and glazed. Serve hot, with a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese.
