Lemon asparagus pasta is a popular dish that offers a balance of delicious flavors and nutrients, making it a satisfying and nutritious option for any weeknight meal.
Cook pasta according to package directions to ''al dente''. Drain pasta and set aside. Reserve about 1 cup of pasta water for later.
In a medium saucepot, add water and take it to a boil. Meanwhile, the water is warming up, prepare the asparagus stalks by snapping the woody ends off or cutting them off with a knife.
Add the stalks to boiling water, and simmer on low for 3-4 minutes. You can also steam the asparagus if you wish.
