A variation of this recipe was listed in Good Housekeeping as a 15-minute meal using a 9 ounce package of fresh fettucine, and the addition of peas when draining the pasta.
The boiling of the water takes at least 30-45 minutes. I substituted 16 ounces of frozen tortellini for the fettucine, and omitted the peas entirely. The result was quite good.
