Tagliatelle with Peas
The Hazan family loves fresh peas, and one of their favorite ways to prepare the vegetable is this luscious pasta dish, in which egg tagliatelle are infused with the peas' sweet flavor.

I used pasta of outstanding quality (Mezzi Paccheri by Faella), so the pasta is not to blame. It is made with great care in a village outside of Naples by artisans, so that is not the source of the non-performance. What went wrong that this dish was not as great as I thought it would be? Can the frozen peas really make such a big difference?
The aroma of the finished dish was carried by the ground pepper I had used, and the peas' own peppery flavour complimented that well. But there was no sweetness at all.
I will try it again in June or July, I think it does deserve a second chance.
