Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 lb sugar snap peas, trimmed
1 lb english peas, shelled
1/2 lb asparagus , tough ends trimmed
1/2 lb haricots verts or tender green beans, trimmed
2/3 cup ricotta cheese
3 green onions, green parts only, roughly chopped
extra-virgin olive oil
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 baguette, sliced thin, or 25 to 30 slices country bread
a block of parmigiano-reggiano , for shaving

Directions:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the peas, asparagus, and green beans and cook until bright green and crisp tender, about 3 minutes. (If you're using frozen peas, you can throw them in during the last couple of minutes, to thaw.) Drain, transfer to a bowl of salted ice water to stop the cooking, and drain again. Puree the vegetables in a food processor with the ricotta, green onion greens, a drizzle of oil, and salt and pepper to taste.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Brush the bread slices on 1 side with olive oil and put them, oiled sides up, on a baking sheet. Bake until lightly browned and crisp, about 10 minutes.
To serve, spread the puree on the warm croutons, and top with shaved Parmigiano (shave with a vegetable peeler). Serve immediately.
