From the Test Kitchen

With their delicious texture and delightful sweetness, it’s no wonder that fresh peas are snapped up by chefs come spring. When tossed with asparagus and mushrooms, the peas create a springtime medley that pairs perfectly with fresh linguine pasta. A creamy, lemony sauce and a garnish of mint brings this bright, flavorful dish together.

Pick the mint leaves off the stems; discard the stems.
