Step 1
Cook pasta according to package directions. Reserve some cooking liquid. While the pasta is cooking, heat a large saute pan over medium heat. Add a tablespoon of olive oil and the garlic.
Step 2
Cook the garlic for 30 seconds (be careful not to burn it, if you do, start over). Add the frozen peas. If you are using another vegetable, I would steam it first. Peas take no time to cook, but larger veggies take longer.
Step 3
Add the broth and wine to the pan. Bring the mixture up to a bubble.
Step 4
Stir in the Boursin cheese.
Step 5
Add the cooked pasta.
Step 6
Add the sun-dried tomatoes, dill, lemon pepper, and a grind of fresh pepper.
Step 7
Add half of the Parmesan and toss well. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit of the pasta water.
Step 8
Top with pine nuts and the remaining Parmesan cheese.
Step 9
Optionally, add cooked bacon, chicken or shrimp for an added boost of protein.

Switch up the pasta shape to long grain noodles such as spaghetti, linguine or fettuccine.
