Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta in a colander.

In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Add the peas to the skillet and cook for another 3-4 minutes until heated through.

Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the peas and garlic. Toss to combine, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time until the desired consistency is reached.

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve the pasta warm, garnished with fresh basil and additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
