Bring a large pot of water, salt once boiling with a handful of salt.

In a saute pan bring the oil to heat over medium flame.

Add the garlic scapes and stir.

Place the peas in the boiling water, follow after 2 minutes with the fresh pasta and allow all to boil for 3 minutes.

Strain the pasta with the peas in a colander, saving the last 2 cups of pasta water.

Add all to the pan with oil and scapes, stir in the herbs and serve.

Have freshly grated Parmesan cheese and a pepper grinder on the table at service. Some like chili flakes too.
