Directions:

Melt butter in large nonstick skillet over medium heat.

Add shallots and saute until translucent, about 2 minutes.

Add broth.

Simmer over medium-high heat until mixture is reduced to 1/4 cup, about 2 minutes.

Add peas; simmer just until heated through, about 2 minutes.

Stir in mint and lemon juice.

Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper.

Meanwhile, cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until 'al dente', stirring occasionally.
