Preparation
Boil the pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta; stir gently to separate. Boil, 6 to 8 min., until al dente. Reserving 1 cup cooking water, drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Make the sauce
Meanwhile, grate the zucchini. In a large, high-sided pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the garlic and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant. Add the zucchini and sauté, 2 to 3 min., until tender. Add the cream and S&P. Cook, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 min., until slightly reduced.
Make the salad
Meanwhile, separate the lettuce leaves; tear the leaves. Halve the string peas crosswise on an angle. In a large bowl, combine the lettuce, string peas, vinaigrette and S&P.
Combine the pasta
To the pan of sauce, add the pasta, ½ the cheese and ¼ of the reserved cooking water. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 min., until combined. If the sauce seems dry, gradually add the remaining cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency; season with S&P.
Plate your dish
Divide the pasta between your bowls. Garnish with the remaining cheese. Serve the salad on the side. Bon appétit!
