Ingredients

8 ounces fettuccine
4 ounces leeks, white and pale green parts only, thinly sliced into half-moons
4 ounces asparagus, cut into 1-inch pieces
4 ounces fresh or frozen peas
2 cloves of garlic, thinly sliced
2 sprigs basil, plus torn leaves for garnish
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
coarse salt
freshly ground black pepper
2 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
freshly grated cured egg yolk, for serving (optional)

Directions

1

Combine pasta, leeks, asparagus, peas, garlic, basil, oil, salt and pepper to taste, water, and white wine in a large straight-sided skillet (the pasta should lay flat).
2

Bring to a boil over high heat. Boil mixture, stirring and turning pasta frequently with tongs or a fork, until pasta is al dente and water had nearly evaporated, about 9 minutes. Add more water or white wine as needed if pasta is not cooked enough to your liking.
3

When pasta is cooked, remove from heat, and stir in Parmesan cheese until just melted.
4

Season to taste with salt and pepper, and garnish with basil, olive oil, chive blossoms, cured egg yolk, lemon zest, and/or additional cheese as desired. Divide among 2 bowls or serve straight from the pan.
