This is delicious! Got it from Darcy. Thanks!

16 ounces penne pasta
2 pounds asparagus, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese pieces
4 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Salt & Pepper

Cook pasta according to package directions and add asparagus during the last 3-1/2 minutes of cooking. Drain pasta and asparagus and rinse under cold water. Transfer to a large bowl.

Add the Parmesan, oil, lemon juice and zest, plus salt and pepper to taste. Toss to combine.

Serves 8.
