Ingredients
-
8 ounces fusilli
-
1/2 lb asparagus, sliced
-
1 cup peas (frozen work great, thaw before using)
-
1 tablespoon butter
-
1 cup vegetable broth
-
1 teaspoon cornstarch
-
1/3 cup heavy cream
-
3 tablespoons lemon juice
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
-
1 dash cayenne pepper (to taste)
-
1 garlic clove, minced
Instructions
- Cook pasta until al dente, adding the asparagus for the last minute of cooking time.
- Place the peas in a colander, then drain the pasta and asparagus over the top of them (this will just heat the peas without overcooking them).
- In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Combine broth and cornstarch, add to pan and bring to a boil.
- Cook, stirring, until broth starts to thicken, about 1 minute.
- Remove from heat and add cream, juice, salt, and peppers.

- Serve immediately.
