Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook for 4 minutes. Add the asparagus and peas and cook for 5 minutes more or until the pasta is al dente. Reserve ¼ cup of the cooking water. Drain the pasta and vegetables well and transfer to a large serving bowl.

Meanwhile, into a small bowl, finely grate 1 tsp zest from the lemon, then squeeze 1 tbsp juice. Whisk in the reserved pasta cooking water, oil, garlic, red pepper, 3 tbsp cheese, salt, and black pepper to make the sauce.

Pour the sauce over the pasta and vegetables and toss well to combine. Garnish with the remaining 1 tbsp cheese and herbs.
