Angel Hair Pasta with Green Garlic Cream Sauce Recipe
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (1/4 stick)
- 1/2 medium yellow onion, small dice
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons minced green garlic (white and light green parts only)
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 pound angel hair pasta
- 1 pound asparagus (about 1 bunch), woody ends removed and thinly sliced on the bias
- 12 ounces sugar snap peas, strings removed and thinly sliced on the bias (about 3 1/2 cups)
- Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil over high heat.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until foaming.
- Add the onion and 1/4 cup of the garlic.
- Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is tender but not browned, about 5 minutes.
- Add the cream and bring to a boil.
- Immediately reduce the heat to low and simmer until the onion is completely tender and the flavors have infused the cream, about 5 minutes.
- Taste and season with more salt and pepper as needed.
- Remove the sauce from the heat and set aside.
- Add the pasta and vegetables to the boiling water.
- Boil, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the pasta is cooked all the way through, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Reserve 3/4 cup of the pasta water.
- Drain the pasta and vegetables and return them to the pot.
- Add the reserved cream sauce, remaining 2 tablespoons garlic, and 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
- Toss to coat the pasta and vegetables, adding more pasta water by the tablespoonful as needed to reach the desired consistency.
- Taste and season with more salt and pepper as needed; serve immediately.
