This creamy pasta dish celebrates spring with fresh peas and asparagus. It might seem like a lot of water, but don’t worry! The remaining pasta water will help create a smooth, creamy, emulsified sauce.
All of Anyday’s recipes are tested (and retested!) in many different microwave and home kitchens to make sure they work— and work well. Unless specified otherwise, all recipes should be cooked at full power.
