For the Christmas fettuccine

  • 8 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 1 1/4 cups finely grated Parmigiano Reggiano plus more for garnish
  • 1 lb (450-500 grams) fresh fettuccine or 3/4 lb (350-400grams) dried fettuccine
  • 1/2-1 cup reserved pasta water

Optional: For the panko crumb topping

  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large pot.
  • Add in the garlic and onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they start to brown.
  • Add in your frozen peas, salt and pepper and stir occasionally, for about 1 minute.
  • Next, pour in the vegetable broth and turn the heat up to high for about 5 minutes until it comes to a boil.
  • Remove the pot from the oven and let sit 5-10 minutes to cool slightly.
  • Then, blend the soup in the pot using an immersion blender or in batches using a stand blender.
