  2       tb           Butter
    1/4   c            Dry vermouth
    1/2   c            Chopped fresh scallions,

 If using fresh peas, parboil and drain.  If using frozen, boil to thaw and

 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

 Add the peas and basil, turn the heat to high for 2 minutes, and pour
 immediately over pasta.  Toss well and serve.
