Asparagus with Lemon Butter Pasta
Ingredients
Asparagus, as much as you want
1 lemon
1 Tbsp olive oil
Salt
1 cup dry pasta
1 Tbsp butter
1 egg
Shaved or grated Parmesan cheese (I just a vegetable peeler)
Directions
Zest the lemon into a small bowl.
Mix lemon juice and olive oil in a bowl large enough to hold the asparagus.
Add asparagus and salt and pepper to taste.
Either light your grill or pre-heat the oven to 450 degrees.
Cook pasta according to package directions.
Grill or roast asparagus until crisp/tender (still a little snappy).
While the asparagus cooks poach (or fry – your call) the egg making sure not to over cook the yolk.
To assemble: Mix pasta with lemon zest and butter, top with asparagus, the egg, and Parmesan cheese. Break the yolk to mix in and enjoy!
