Ingredients:

Serving

450 g fettuccine
2 lemons
1 cup fresh basil, shredded
2/3 cup sun-dried tomato packed in oil, coarsely chopped
2 bunches asparagus
1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1 pinch white pepper
1 pinch salt

Directions:

Fill a large saucepan with water and bring to a boil over high heat.
Add the pasta and cook, following package directions, until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, finely grate the peel from the lemons.
Prepare the basil and tomatoes.
Snap the tough ends from the asparagus, then cut into 2 pieces.
Add to the boiling pasta for the last 2 minutes of cooking.
Remove 1/2 cup of the pasta water and save.
Drain the pasta and asparagus, then return to the pasta pot.
Stir in the lemon peel, basil, tomatoes, and both cheeses along with 1/4 cup reserved pasta water.
Add the pepper and salt.
If you want a thinner sauce, stir in the remaining pasta water.
