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.
