Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil, throw in a handful of salt. Add the pasta, give it a stir and cook until al dente. Just before draining add the snap peas and peas to the boiling water to barely aoften, 20 to 30 seconds. Drain the pasta and peas, and rinse lightly with cold water; set aside.

Step 2

While the pasta water comes to a boil, place the spinach, basil, oil, miso, garlic, and lemon zest and juice in a blender. Blend to a bright green purée. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and a few grinds of pepper, then blend again.

Step 3

Transfer the purée to a large bowl that is big enough to toss all the pasta. Add the pasta and peas, and toss until coated. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the Parmesan and more basil leaves. Toss once more before serving.
