This lightning-fast pasta with creamy peas, mint, and Parm is pantry dinner at its best, provided you keep heavy cream in your fridge at all times. And if you don't, you absolutely should: It lasts forever, and having some on hand means a creamy soup, scones, or a dollop or whipped cream are always in arm's reach.

Recipe notes

Pasta Primavera

With a heap of fresh produce and creamy sauce, this one-pot pasta endures for a reason.
