Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Spring Vegetable Pasta
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil over high heat. Once boiling, add pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes.
- While the pasta cooks, wash and chop your fresh spring vegetables including asparagus, cherry tomatoes, and peas.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped asparagus and sauté for about 3 minutes until they soften.
- Add peas and cherry tomatoes to the skillet, stirring frequently for an additional 4-5 minutes until vegetables are tender yet crisp.
- When your pasta is cooked, drain it, reserving a small cup of the starchy pasta water. Add the drained pasta to the skillet with sautéed vegetables.
- Squeeze in fresh lemon juice and add a splash of reserved pasta water, stirring to create a light sauce that coats the pasta and veggies.
- Season generously with salt and pepper to taste, and serve warm with crusty bread or a simple side salad.

Notes
Always opt for seasonal vegetables for the best flavor; avoid overcooking to retain the crunch of vegetables.
