Ingredients

4 tablespoon(s) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 tablespoon(s) chopped fresh chives
1 tablespoon(s) chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon(s) freshly ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
2 tablespoon(s) olive oil
2 bunch(es) asparagus, ends trimmed
1 cup(s) fresh peas
2 clove(s) garlic, chopped
1 cup(s) (1/4 pint) grape tomatoes, halved

Directions
In a small bowl, combine the butter, chives, parsley, freshly ground pepper, and salt; mix well. Transfer the herb butter to a 12-inch-long piece of plastic wrap and roll it into a log. Twist the ends of the plastic wrap to seal. Refrigerate the herb butter until firm, at least 1 hour or up to 2 days.
In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the asparagus and sauté for 5 minutes. Add the peas and garlic, and sauté until the asparagus and peas are just tender, about 8 minutes. Add the tomatoes, and red pepper flakes to taste, and sauté for 2 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a large platter.
Slice chilled herb butter into 1/2-inch-thick disks; serve with warm vegetables.
