Cook asparagus or broccoli and edamame just until done . Set aside.

Cook pasta.

In a skillet add a bit of olive oil or pam and cook onion with lemon zest for 2 minutes without browning. Add frozen baby peas and add coconut milk, with some sea salt, and a dash or so of paprika. Bring to a simmer and shut off.  Add the pasta to the pan and add the rest of the veggies and sprinkle with the basil and mint. Drizzle with lemon juice and add oil if desired.
