PASTA PRIMAVERA WITH ASPARAGUS AND PEAS
This simple pasta primavera uses a combination of the earliest vegetables available in spring - asparagus, peas and spring onions - making it a true celebration of the season. The sauce works best with springy egg pasta, preferably homemade or a good purchased brand. Make sure not to overcook it; you need the chewy bite to stand up to the gently cooked vegetables. If you can't find good fresh English peas, you can substitute frozen peas, but don't add them until the last minute of cooking.

CREAMY ASPARAGUS AND PEAS PASTA
This recipe is inspired by both Jaime Oliver's Creamy Shells and Peas recipe and a local restaurant's version. However, I've never been tempted to make Jaime's; I'm sure it tastes awesome but I decided to tweak it to my heart's content. Mine is very fast to make and very fresh tasting.

Tips:
- Choose the right pasta: Fettuccine is a great choice for this recipe, as it is a wide, flat noodle that can hold the sauce well. However, you can also use other types of pasta, such as linguine, spaghetti, or penne.
- Use fresh asparagus and peas: Fresh asparagus and peas will give your dish the best flavor. If you can't find fresh asparagus, you can use frozen asparagus, but be sure to thaw it before cooking.
- Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente means "to the tooth" in Italian, and it refers to the texture of pasta that is cooked through but still has a slight bite to it. This is the ideal texture for pasta dishes with a sauce, as it allows the sauce to cling to the pasta.
- Don't overcook the asparagus and peas: Asparagus and peas should be cooked just until they are tender-crisp. If you overcook them, they will become mushy and lose their flavor.
- Use a light hand with the salt: Parmesan cheese is salty, so you don't need to add a lot of salt to this dish. Taste the sauce before you add any salt, and then add it sparingly.
Conclusion:
Fettuccine with Asparagus and Peas is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of fresh asparagus, peas, and Parmesan cheese is simple but flavorful, and the creamy sauce is the perfect complement to the pasta. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
