How to Make Tagliatelle With Smashed Peas Sausage And Ricotta Cheese Giada

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tagliatelle and cook according to package directions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add the sausage to the skillet and break it up with a wooden spoon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
  5. Add the peas to the skillet and use the back of a spoon to gently smash them. Cook for 1-2 minutes until slightly softened.
  6. Turn off the heat and stir in the ricotta cheese until melted and combined with the peas.
  7. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat. Gradually add the reserved pasta water, 1/4 cup at a time, until the pasta is creamy and moist.
  8. Return the sausage to the skillet. Stir in the chopped basil, Pecorino Romano cheese, salt, and pepper.
  9. Toss gently to combine and serve immediately. Enjoy!
