• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Prepare an ice-water bath. Drop the peas into the boiling water and cook until just soft, about 2 minutes (30 seconds if frozen). Using a strainer, transfer the peas to the ice water, then remove and roughly chop.
• Return water to a boil. Boil the Romanesco and sugar snaps for 30 seconds; transfer to ice water with a slotted spoon. Boil carrots for 1 to 3 minutes and transfer them to the ice water. Save boiling water for the pasta, adding more water and salt as needed. Carefully separate the sugar snaps in half along their seams so that half of the peas remain hinged on each half of the shell.

Sauté until fragrant but before the garlic browns, 30 to 60 seconds. Add the pea broth and the miso paste and bring to a boil. Add the peas, sugar snaps, carrots and Romanesco. Season to taste with salt, miso, lemon zest and lemon juice. Remove from the heat and keep warm.

Immediately transfer to the boiling salted water and cook until al dente. Transfer to the miso broth. Set over medium heat and stir until well combined and hot.
• Portion the pasta and broth into 4 bowls. Top each with a few slices of asparagus and radish, a sprinkle of parsley and, if you choose, miner's lettuce or edible pansies. Drizzle with olive oil.
