PEAS AND PEA TENDRILS WITH LEMON DRESSING.
"Tendril" is such a cute word, isn't it? You should see them... they're even cuter! They're actually the young leaves and shoots of snow pea plants. Serve this with salmon or other fish and a dill-cucumber sauce.

PENNE WITH PEAS, PEA GREENS AND PARMESAN
Many farmers who sell peas also sell the shoots and tendrils that grow with them. They're sweet, light and nourishing, especially when you serve them along with peas.

Steps:
- Begin heating a large pot of water for the pasta. Meanwhile, steam the peas over an inch of boiling water for 4 minutes, until just tender. Transfer to a bowl. Add the pea shoots to the steamer and steam 2 minutes, until just wilted. Remove from the heat and allow to cool until you can handle them. Do not discard the steaming water; pour it into a measuring cup. Squeeze out excess water from the pea greens and chop medium-fine. You should have about 1 cup chopped leaves and tender stems.
- Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet and add the chopped spring onion or scallions. Cook, stirring, until wilted, about 3 minutes. Add the pea shoots and stir together for about a minute. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the peas, tarragon and parsley and about 1/4 cup of the steaming water and heat through.
- When the water in the pot comes to a boil, salt generously and add the pasta. Cook al dente, using the timing instructions on the package as a guide but checking the pasta a minute before the time indicated is up. When the pasta is ready, using a ladle transfer 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water to the pan with the peas and pea shoots. Drain the pasta and toss at once with the vegetables and Parmesan. Serve hot.

POTATO, SNAP PEA, AND PEA-TENDRIL SALAD
The peas and dressed potatoes can be cooked two days ahead and refrigerated until ready to serve. Bring them to room temperature, then toss them with the pea tendrils, mint, bacon, and dressing just before serving. The seasoned rice vinegar tossed with minced shallot is Lost Kitchen chef/owner Erin French's signature flavor; she loves it in salads of all kinds.

- Serve the peas and pea tendrils immediately. They are best enjoyed fresh.
