- Cook the pasta in a large saucepan of salted boiling water for 3 minutes or until al dente. Carefully remove, set aside and keep warm.
- Add the peas to the pan and cook for 2 minutes or until tender. Drain and transfer to a large bowl. Using a potato masher or fork, lightly crush the peas. Add the artichoke, mint, lemon rind, lemon juice, oil, salt and pepper and gently toss to combine.
