Bright lemony flavor. Easy to make and can sit out during warm weather. Can be served hot, warm, or cold. Ingredients:
1 (16 ounce) package penne pasta |
1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces |
1 large lemon, zested and juiced |
1 cup grated parmesan cheese |
1/2 cup olive oil |
salt to taste |
freshly cracked black pepper to taste |
Directions:
1. 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.
2. Stir asparagus into the pot with the boiling penne pasta and bring back to a boil; cook until pasta is tender and asparagus is softened but still bright green, about 3 more minutes. Drain pasta and asparagus.
3. 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.
