1

Cook the cavatelli

Bring a medium sauce pot of generously salted water to a boil. Separate the cavatelli so the noodles don’t clump together during cooking. Add the cavatelli and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain the cavatelli, reserving ¼ cup [½ cup] pasta cooking water. Return the cavatelli to the pot; toss with 2 to 3 teaspoons oil to keep the noodles from sticking. While the water heats and the cavatelli cooks, prepare the vegetables.

Prep and cook the vegetables; finish the dish

  • Peel and thinly slice the shallots.
  • Snap off the woody ends from the asparagus; cut the asparagus on the diagonal into ½-inch pieces.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Stir in the shallots and cook until starting to soften, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the asparagus, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the cavatelli, reserved pasta cooking water, and pesto and toss to combine. Stir in the peas and goat cheese. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the cavatelli and vegetables to individual bowls and serve.
