Method

  1. Cook the pasta to pack instructions, adding the peas for the final 3 mins. Drain, reserving a cupful of the cooking water.
  2. Meanwhile, heat the oil from the jar of artichokes in a frying pan over a medium heat and fry the leek and cabbage for 6-7 mins until soft and lightly golden, then add the garlic and artichokes and cook for 1 min more. Season and stir in most of the lemon zest and all of the mint. Add a generous splash of cooking water, then stir in the pasta. Serve with a dollop of ricotta, the remaining lemon zest and some pecorino (if using), scattered over the top.
