    3. Drain the pasta and vegetables, then tip into the mixing bowl with 5 tbsp cooking water. Add the pecorino and toss together until the cheese has melted and combined with the oil, lemon juice and cooking water to create a silky sauce. Divide between plates and top with the pea shoots.

    Cook’s tip Try swapping the peas for baby broad beans. Other long pasta shapes would work well in place of linguine if you prefer, such as bucatini, spaghetti or pappardelle.
