Ingredients:

Serving

1 14 oz box of whole grain pasta (or fresh or regular)
1 lb asparagus, cleaned , ends snapped and cut into 1 1/2 pieces or so
1 tbsp butter
1 1/2 cups of heavy cream
1 1/2 cups vegetable stock
1 lemon , for juice and zest
fresh cracked pepper or lemon pepper - to taste (i use a ton)
garlic salt - to taste (again , i'm a salt fiend so i use alot)
3/4 cup of fresh grated parmesan
chopped flat-leaf parsley to sprinkle on top
fresh parmesan shavings for top

Directions:

Bring your pasta water to a boil
Shallow boil your asparagus - put all it in a pot and cover with 1/2 cup vegetable stock, boil until tender, then add butter, set aside
While waiting for that pour your heavy cream into a deep frying pan
Add your remaining 1 cup of stock and microplane the full lemon for zest, bring to a rolling simmer.
Whisk in about 3/4 the juice from the lemon
Add the fresh grated parmesan and reduce heat, stir until melted and every so often for around 8 minutes or until thickened.
Back to the pasta, your water should be boiling, toss the pasta in and boil to al dente according to box
When sauce thickens add asparagus, cracked pepper and gralic salt.
When pasta is done, drain it and toss it into the pan, Use tongs to turn the sauce into the pasta
Top with chopped parsley and fresh shaved parmesan
If you are me, add more salt and lots more pepper cause you're a freak like that.
Get that last squeeze of lemon over your pasta to add brightness
Enjoy!
