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.

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.

ASPARAGUS, PEA AND SAFFRON RISOTTO (WITH SHRIMP) RECIPE - (4.6/5)
Provided by Foodiewife
Number Of Ingredients 17
Steps:
- If using shrimp, use 2-3 large pieces per serving. Remove the tail, place in a small bowl and drizzle with a little olive oil, a splash of white wine, a squeeze of lemon juice, one small clove of freshly minced garlic, and a little salt and pepper and set aside. Heat chicken stock in medium saucepan. In a separate saucepan, heat garlic and and shallots in olive oil over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Add rice and stir to coat for a few seconds. Add wine and a half cup of chicken stock. Stir frequently until liquid is mostly absorbed, then add another half cup of stock and saffron. Allow to absorb, and then add another half cup of stock, repeating the process until the stock has been mostly absorbed (about 20-25 minutes). Rice should be tender but slightly firm, and risotto should have a thick creamy consistency. Meanwhile (within 10 minutes of the risotto being ready): In a small skillet, heat about 1 Tbsp olive oil, and 1 small pat of unsalted butter. Saute the asparagus until just al dente--about 7 minutes. Set aside. In the same pan, cook the shrimp until pink-- about 2 minutes per side. Once the risotto is finished, remove from heat and stir in lemon juice**, lemon zest, parmigiano reggiano, asparagus and frozen peas. Add salt to taste. Garnish with grated cheese and lemon zest. Top with shrimp, if serving. **add about 1/2 the lemon juice, and taste. Add more, if you prefer for the lemon citrus taste to come through.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, young peas and asparagus for the best flavor and texture.
- If using frozen peas and asparagus, thaw them completely before cooking.
- To save time, you can use a pre-made cream of mushroom soup.
- For a richer flavor, use half-and-half or heavy cream instead of milk.
- Add a cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the casserole for a cheesy twist.
- Feel free to add other vegetables to the casserole, such as broccoli, carrots, or cauliflower.
- Serve the casserole with a side salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
