Directions

1. Cook pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain.

2. While pasta cooks, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chives and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

3. Add peas, Boursin, and a generous splash of pasta water to the skillet. Stir until the Boursin melts into a creamy sauce.

4. Add the drained pasta to the pan and toss to coat. Add more pasta water as needed to thin the sauce.

5. Stir in Parmesan, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Toss until glossy and well combined.

6. Season with salt and black pepper. Serve with extra chives and Parmesan.
