  • Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain, reserving half a tablespoon of the cooking water.

  • Heat a large pan over medium heat. Add the oil and garlic. Fry, stirring often, until the garlic is golden. Remove from the heat and add the pasta, asparagus, peas, radishes, salt, lemon juice, pasta water, zoodles and pepper. Toss well to coat everything in the garlicy oil.
