Preparation
Boil the pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta, separating the strands as you add them; stir gently. Boil, stirring occasionally, 1 to 3 min., until al dente. Reserving ½ cup cooking water (double for 4 portions), drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Cook the shrimp
Meanwhile, pat the shrimp dry with paper towel (remove the shells from the tails if desired); season with S&P. In a large, high-sided pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium. Add the shrimp* and cook, 1 to 2 min. per side, until opaque and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and reserve the pan.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, grate the tomatoes. Thinly slice the scallions crosswise, separating the white bottoms and green tops.
Make the sauce
In the reserved pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the garlic and white bottoms of the scallions. Sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant. Add the tomatoes and sauté, 1 to 2 min., until softened. Add the peas, mascarpone and ½ the reserved cooking water. Cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 min., until the peas turn bright green; season with the spices and S&P.
Combine the pasta
To the pan of sauce, add the pasta, shrimp, ½ the Grana Padano and 2 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions). Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 min., until combined. If the sauce seems dry, gradually add the remaining cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency.
Plate your dish
Divide the pasta between your plates. Garnish with the green tops of the scallions and remaining Grana Padano. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking shellfish to a minimum internal temperature of 74°C.
