Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in fettuccine, return to a boil, and cook over medium heat until pasta is tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.
Step 2
While pasta is cooking, place asparagus and peas into a steamer insert and place insert over the pot of fettuccine. Steam vegetables until tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove the steamer insert and drain fettuccine.
Step 3
Combine fettuccine, asparagus, peas, basil, mint, parsley, feta cheese, scallions, and olive oil in a serving bowl; toss well. Season with salt and pepper.
