Preparation steps

1.

For the asparagus-pea sauce: If using frozen peas, allow to thaw completely before use. Rinse the asparagus, remove the woody ends and cut into 6 cm (approximately 2 1/4 inch) long pieces. Rinse and trim the zucchini, and cut into 0.5 cm (approximately 1/8 inch) thick slices. Rinse the lemon in hot water, wipe dry and finely grate zest. Squeeze juice from lemon. Rinse the chile pepper, halve lengthwise, remove seeds and white ribs, and finely chop. Peel and finely chop the garlic.

2.

For the orecchiette: Cook the orecchiette in boiling salted water until al dente.

3.

For the asparagus-pea sauce: Heat the oil in a large skillet. Add the chile and garlic, and cook until fragrant. Stir in the asparagus, and cook briefly. Add the wine and lemon juice, and simmer, covered, for 5 minutes. If necessary, add water. Stir in the peas and zucchini, and cook, covered, for another 5 minutes. Season with the lemon zest, salt and pepper to taste. 

4.

Drain the orecchiette. Toss the orecchiette with the asparagus-pea sauce, and serve immediately.
