Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 c. frozen peas

  • 1 lb. spaghetti

  • 2 tbsp. olive oil

  • 1/2 lb. asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces

  • 6 oz. fresh mushrooms, sliced

  • 1 tsp. fresh lemon juice

  • Kosher salt

  • Pepper

  • 2 large eggs

  • 3/4 c. grated Parmesan, plus more for serving

  • 1 tsp. freshly grated lemon zest

  • 12 basil leaves, thinly sliced, plus more for serving

Directions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add peas and cook until just tender, about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer peas to a small bowl. Add spaghetti to boiling water and cook just until al dente, about 9 minutes. Reserve 3/4 cup pasta water, then drain pasta.
  • While pasta is cooking, heat oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium. Add asparagus and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, about 3 minutes. Add peas and mushrooms, and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook 2 minutes more. Turn off heat and set pan aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and Parmesan. Add drained pasta and 1/2 cup reserved pasta water and toss to coat well, adding more if necessary.
  • Fold in asparagus, mushroom and pea mixture, along with lemon zest, lemon juice, and basil. Season pasta with 1/4 teaspoon pepper and additional salt if necessary. Divide among bowls and top with extra Parmesan and basil if desired.
