Serving

8 oz uncooked long fusilli ( twisted spaghetti)
1 3/4 cups (1 1/2-inch) slices asparagus (about 1/2 lb)
1 cup frozen green peas, thawed
1 tbsp butter
1 garlic clove, minced
1 cup organic vegetable broth
1 tsp cornstarch
1/3 cup heavy cream
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
1/2 tsp salt

Cook 1 minute or until thick, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in cream, juice, salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and red pepper. Add pasta mixture to broth mixture; toss gently to coat.
