2 medium leeks (white and pale green parts only), rinsed well and finely chopped
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth

1 lb dried egg fettuccine nests
1/3 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tsp finely grated fresh lemon zest
1/3 cup finely grated parmesan plus additional for serving

Directions:

Stir shelled peas into sauce and simmer 3 minutes. 3Stir in snow peas, salt, and pepper and simmer until peas are tender, about 5 minutes.
Cook pasta in a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water. Drain pasta, then add to sauce, tossing to combine. Sprinkle parsley, zest, and parmesan on top and toss again. Season with pepper.
Cooks' note: You can substitute 1 (10-oz) package frozen peas (not thawed) for shelled fresh peas. Add to sauce with snow peas.
