2) In a large saute pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
3) Add the asparagus, season with the salt and pepper, and cook for 3 minutes until slightly soft. Add the cherry tomatoes and peas.Cook for 2 minutes.
4) Pour the chicken stock into the pan and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook until the tomatoes start to burst and the stock is reduced by half, about 3 minutes.
5) Transfer the asparagus mixture to a large serving bowl. Add the cooked pasta and 1/2 of the parmesan. Toss well, adding reserved pasta water, if needed, to loosen the pasta.
6) Garnish with the remaining parmesan and the basil; serve
