Let's Get Cooking! (Don't Worry, I'll Be Here in Spirit)
Alright, so how do we make this magic happen?
Basically, you'll cook your favorite pasta according to the package directions. While the pasta is cooking, gently sauté some shallots or garlic in butter (or olive oil, if you prefer). Add your peas (fresh or frozen, both work great!). Cook them until they're tender and vibrant green.

Then, drain your pasta, reserving a little bit of the pasta water. Toss the pasta with the peas and shallots, adding a splash of the pasta water to create a light sauce. Finally, shower it with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Lots of it! Because, honestly, is there ever too much Parmesan? I think not!
Season with salt and pepper to taste. A squeeze of lemon juice can also brighten things up. Serve immediately and enjoy!
