Instructions

Heat the butter, olive oil, and a pinch of sea salt in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the snap peas, garlic, shallot, and red pepper flakes. Sauté for 4–5 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant and the snap peas are just tender. Season with salt and pepper.
Turn off the heat and stir in the cheese, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain and add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the snap pea mixture.
Toss everything together, taste, and adjust seasoning as needed. Top with extra cheese before serving, if desired.

Notes

Leftovers will keep for up to 3-5 days when refrigerated in an airtight container.
