Adding asparagus and frozen peas directly to the boiling pasta during the last couple minutes of cooking means every part for this seasonal, fresh spring pasta recipe can be made in one pot. Smoked salmon adds a nice, rich saltiness (and extra protein!) without any extra work for the cook—just drape the slices over each bowl before serving.
