Directions

-            1. Cook the peas in a pan of boiling water for 3 minutes then drain and set aside. Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in a separate large pan of boiling water.
2. Return the pea pan to a medium heat with the oil and fry the garlic for 2 minutes until fragrant, then stir in the peas, coating them in the oil; remove from the heat. Tip ²/ ³ of the peas into a small food processor with the almonds, cheese, chilli (if using) and lemon zest. Season and pulse to a rough paste, then return to the pan with the whole peas.
3. Scoop a cupful of cooking water from the spaghetti then drain and return to the pan. Stir the pea mixture into the pasta along with a splash of the cooking water and toss together, adding more water as needed to make a loose pesto that coats the spaghetti. Stir through the mint and serve with lemon wedges and extra parmigiano reggiano, if liked.
