Lemon Asparagus Pasta
Ingredients
- penne pasta (1 pack)
- fresh asparagus (1 pound)
- lemon (1 large)
- grated Parmesan cheese (1 cup)
- olive oil (0.5 cup)
- salt (0 )
- black pepper (0 )
Instructions
- Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a boil. Stir in penne and return to a boil. Cook pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, for about 8 minutes. Penne will still be slightly firm.
- Stir asparagus into the pot with the boiling penne pasta and bring back to a boil; cook until pasta is al dente and asparagus is tender-crisp but still bright green, about 3 more minutes. Drain pasta and asparagus.
- Place penne and asparagus into a large bowl; lightly stir in lemon zest, lemon juice, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until thoroughly combined.
