Ingredients
 

  • 2 cups bow tie pasta
  • ½ bunch asparagus (chopped into 1 inch pieces)
  • ½ medium onion (thinly sliced)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 tbs fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
  • parmesan cheese for garnishing
  • salt
  • pepper
  • oil

Instructions
 

  • Boil the pasta in hot water with a handful of salt. It's important to season the pasta while boiling it. This should take about 8 to 10 mins.
  • In the mean-time, heat a pan with some oil.
  • Add the asparagus and cook for about 3 minutes. Once done, keep the cooked asparagus aside.
  • In the same pan, add garlic and onion and saute them till they are cooked.
  • Add lemon zest, lemon juice and cooked asparagus to the pan and turn off the heat.
  • Drain the boiled pasta and retain about 1 cup of the pasta water.
  • Now, add the pasta to the pan and mix it properly. If required, add a little bit of the pasta water. This will keep the pasta moist.
  • Garnish with some shaved or shredded parmesan cheese and serve with the baked potato wedges.
