Yield

Serves: 4

Preparation

Bring a large pot of water to a boil for the pasta.
 
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with EVOO, 2 turns of the pan. Add asparagus, peas, beans, whites of onions, leeks or scallions, garlic, salt and pepper. Stir and toss to tender-crisp 3-5 minutes. Add wine or stock.

 
In a small saucepot, bring cream, lemon zest and saffron threads to a low boil. Simmer 3 minutes to thicken then remove from heat.
 
Salt boiling water liberally and cook pasta 1 minute under suggested time for al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup liquid then drain.
 
Toss pasta with reserved cooking liquid, vegetables, infused cream, grated cheese and a fat drizzle of EVOO for a full minute. Serve in shallow bowls, topped with chives, basil, and parsley. Pass more cheese at the table.
