Fusilli With Lemon Cream Sauce, Asparagus, And Peas - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    8 ounces fusilli
    1/2 lb asparagus, sliced
    1 cup peas (frozen work great, thaw before using)
    1 tablespoon butter
    1 garlic clove, minced
    1 cup vegetable broth
    1 teaspoon cornstarch
    1/3 cup heavy cream
    3 tablespoons lemon juice
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon black pepper
    1 dash cayenne pepper (to taste)
Preparation
    Cook pasta until al dente, adding the asparagus for the last minute of cooking time.
    Place the peas in a colander, then drain the pasta and asparagus over the top of them (this will just heat the peas without overcooking them).
    In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
    Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
    Combine broth and cornstarch, add to pan and bring to a boil.
    Cook, stirring, until broth starts to thicken, about 1 minute.
    Remove from heat and add cream, juice, salt, and peppers.
    Stir to combine.
    Add pasta and vegetables to the sauce, tossing gently to coat.
    Serve immediately.
