      2 c  Fresh or frozen green peas
      2 tb Butter
    1/4 c  Dry vermouth
    1/2 c  Chopped fresh scallions,
           Including tender green parts

  If using fresh peas, parboil and drain.  If using frozen, boil to
  thaw and drain. Heat the butter in a large skillet and add the
  vermouth and scallions. Cook for about 10 minutes until scallions
  turn soft and the vermouth thickens and deglazes the pan. Add the
  peas and basil, turn the heat to high for 2 minutes, and pour
  immediately over pasta. Toss well and serve.
