For an even richer flavor, consider adding a splash of dry sherry or white wine to the sauce while it simmers. If fresh tarragon isn't available, you can substitute with 1 teaspoon of dried tarragon. Feel free to experiment with other types of smoked meat, such as chicken or ham. For a vegetarian version, omit the smoked turkey and add sautéed mushrooms or asparagus.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large, heavy-bottomed skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and shallot and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
02
StepAdd the smoked turkey strips and cook for another minute, until lightly heated through. (1 minute)
03
StepPour in the heavy cream, increase the heat to medium-high, and bring to a gentle simmer. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper, if desired. Reduce heat to low and let the sauce thicken slightly, stirring occasionally. (5 minutes)
04
StepMeanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to package directions until al dente, usually 2-3 minutes for fresh pasta and 7-8 for dry.
05
StepReserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the fettuccine.
06
StepStir the green peas into the cream sauce and cook for 1 minute until heated through. (1 minute)
07
StepAdd the drained fettuccine to the skillet and toss to coat thoroughly with the cream sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a little of the reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.
08
StepStir in the fresh tarragon and lemon zest. Cook for another minute to allow the flavors to meld together. (1 minute)
09
StepAdjust seasonings to taste. Serve immediately in warmed bowls, garnished with freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
