Ingredients:

Serving

1 (16 oz) package penne pasta
1 lb 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:

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 tender and asparagus is softened 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.
