This pasta is literally bursting with juicy spring vegetables: crisp young radishes, tender green peas, fresh spinach, and fragrant herbs. All of this is tossed in a pan with cooked, wide pappardelle pasta, and the radishes are first sautéed in butter. This unusual preparation makes it especially delicious. To enhance the pasta's flavor, sprinkle it with several types of fresh herbs, such as parsley and chives, or whatever else you have on hand. Serve with a light, creamy, citrusy ricotta sauce with lemon zest.
