Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound thin asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup frozen peas
1 pound linguine
2 cups packed fresh basil leaves
1 cup packed fresh mint leaves
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 1/2 ounces feta, crumbled (1 cup)
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
3 scallions, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Cook asparagus in a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling well-salted water until just tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a large heatproof bowl, then add peas to boiling water and cook 2 minutes. Transfer peas with slotted spoon to bowl with asparagus, then add linguine to boiling water and cook until al dente.
  • While linguine cooks, pulse basil, mint, oil, salt, pepper, and 1/2 cup feta in a food processor until chopped, then add to vegetables.
  • Reserve 1/2 cup pasta-cooking water, then drain pasta in a colander. Stir reserved cooking water into vegetables, then add pasta, parsley, scallions, and remaining 1/2 cup feta and toss.
