Number Of Ingredients 7

Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 cups shelled fresh English peas (about 1 1/2 pounds unshelled) or thawed frozen petite peas
8 ounces baby zucchini (about 12), trimmed and cut lengthwise into 1/8-inch-thick slices with a mandoline or a knife
1 1/2 cups plain whole-milk yogurt
1 1/2 cups loosely packed fresh basil leaves, very thinly sliced
1 pound spaghetti
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for serving

Using a slotted spoon, transfer peas to a medium bowl; set aside. Add zucchini to pot, and cook 30 seconds; using a slotted spoon, transfer to bowl with peas.

I used whole wheat spaghetti and it worked well in this dish. The texture was a bit more chewy, but I liked it.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt in the sauce.
