PASTA PRIMAVERA WITH ASPARAGUS AND PEAS



Pasta Primavera With Asparagus and Peas image

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.

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 pound sugar snap peas, stems trimmed
1/2 pound asparagus, ends snapped
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 cup fresh English peas
1/4 cup thinly sliced spring onion, white part only (or use shallot)
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt, more as needed
Black pepper, more as needed
12 ounces fettuccine or tagliatelle, preferably fresh (see recipe)
2/3 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, at room temperature
1/2 cup crème fraîche or whole milk Greek yogurt, at room temperature
3 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
1 tablespoon finely chopped tarragon
