Linguine with Asparagus, Peas and Herbs

Here is a true springtime dish, made with the season’s early harvest of asparagus and peas. The vegetables are meant to be tender, not crunchy and firm, so don’t be tempted to undercook them. If freshly picked peas are not available, substitute frozen baby peas, also called petite peas.
