Ingredients

  • 1 lb. thin asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1 ½ inch pieces
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 lb. linguine
  • 2 cups packed fresh basil leaves
  • 1 cup packed fresh mint leaves
  • ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • ¾ tsp pepper
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese, divided
  • ½ cup coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • 3 scallions, thinly sliced
  • Red hot pepper flakes, for topping

Instructions

  • Add asparagus to a large pot of well-salted water and cook until just tender, about 4 minutes. Transfer (using a slotted spoon) to a large heatproof bowl. Add peas to boiling water and cook for 2 minutes. Transfer to bowl with asparagus and add linguine to water. Cook until al dente.
  • While linguine is cooking, add basil, mint, olive oil, salt, pepper, and ½ cup feta to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until all is pureed and combined. Add mixture to bowl with asparagus and peas.
  • When pasta is done cooking, reserve ½ cup water before draining. Stir this water into the bowl with vegetables and then add pasta, parsley, scallions, and remaining ½ cup of feta to bowl and toss to combine.
  • Serve in individual bowls with red hot pepper flakes and additional crumbled feta sprinkled over the top.
