Preparation
Boil the pasta
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta; stir gently to separate. Boil, stirring occasionally, 4 to 6 min., until al dente. Reserving ½ cup cooking water (double for 4 portions), drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, thinly slice the cucumbers crosswise. Juice the lemon. Remove the stem ends of the string peas; halve crosswise on an angle.
Make the sauce
In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add ½ the lemon juice, the spices, ½ the reserved cooking water and 2 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions). Reduce the heat to simmer and cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 min., until combined and warmed through; season with S&P.
Make the salad
In a large bowl, combine the remaining lemon juice, 2 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions) and S&P. Add the baby greens, string peas, cucumbers and S&P; toss well.
Combine the pasta
To the pan of sauce, add the pasta, ½ the cheese and S&P. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 min., until warmed through and combined. If the sauce seems dry, gradually add the remaining cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency.
Plate your dish
Divide the pasta and salad between your plates. Garnish with the remaining cheese. Bon appétit!
