Ingredients:

Serving

2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
4 cups (packed) chopped onions
1 8- oz package trimmed sugar snap peas , cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 8- oz package orecchiette ( little ear-shaped pasta)
1/2 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
1/4 cup torn fresh basil leaves
1 1/2 tsp finely grated lemon peel

Directions:

Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions. Sauté until onions are pale golden, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium; sauté onions until tender and deep golden, about 15 minutes longer. Transfer 3/4 cup sautéed onions to small bowl. Add peas to onions in skillet. Sauté until peas are crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Remove skillet from heat.
Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite. Drain pasta, reserving 1 cup cooking liquid.
Add pasta and 1/2 cup cooking liquid to onion mixture; stir over medium-high heat 30 seconds. Mix in ricotta, basil, and lemon peel, adding more cooking liquid to moisten as needed. Season with salt and pepper.
