Happy mother's day! Creamy Asparagus Pasta with Peas

Big Guy is doing well with finding great pasta recipes that are quick and easy to make, especially with a puppy running around my feet. The best part of the recipe was the fact I had all but one ingredient on hand.

The recipe from @nytimes, submitted by Melissa Clark, was a creamy asparagus pasta with peas and mint. Forgive me, I did not have any mint, but I had two types of basil, so I already tinkered with the recipe. Regardless, it was delicious with the green vegetables with creamy parmesan sauce elevated with lemon juice and zest.

I will make this recipe again although the next time I will show restraint in the amount of peas I used for the pasta. It is amazing the number of peas that come out of a bag!
