Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add pasta and cook 2 minutes. Add peas and cook 3 minutes; drain.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; add asparagus and sauté until bright green and tender, about 3 minutes. Add pasta mixture, butter, salt, and pepper; toss until butter melts. Add tomatoes; cook until slightly softened.
