  1. Boil a kettle. Heat a large saucepan filled with salted boiling water on a high heat. Add the penne and boil for 7-8 mins, until cooked, then drain.
  2. Heat a medium saucepan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the peas and garlic, cook for 1 min, then add 75ml water. Boil for 1 min, then add the yoghurt. Season with sea salt and black pepper, then mash well.
  3. Roughly chop the dill and half the rocket. Stir both into the mashed peas. Zest and quarter the lemon. Cut the radishes into half-moons. Add half the zest to the peas.
  4. Add the cooked penne to the peas. Flake in the trout and add the remaining rocket. Toss everything together.
  5. Serve the pasta garnished with the radishes, remaining zest and lemon wedges.
