  • step 1

    Cook the pasta following the pack instructions. Two minutes before the end of the cooking time, add the asparagus and peas. Boil everything together for the final 2 mins, then scoop out and reserve a cup of the cooking liquid from the pan before draining the pasta and veg.

  • step 2

    Return the pasta and veg to the pan and add the lemon zest, soft cheese and seasoning. Add a squeeze of lemon juice to taste and stir in 2-3 tbsp of the cooking liquid to loosen the sauce.

Surprisingly good! Add lemon and seasoning incrementally until it tastes right. Very quick, very easy.

Not bad but I have to admit 2 minutes didn’t seem enough to cook the asparagus for me. I need to experiment with modifying this recipe

Very nice recipe. I've added spring onion which also adds an extra flavour . It also takes much less time than normal onion.

While this recipe isn't the most complicated in the world, with enough lemon juice and seasoning it makes for a delightful summer dinner. It's also a good starting point for people who like to add to it and get creative. Definitely having garlic bread, pancetta, and some mint the next time around.…
