    The Best Asparagus Lemon Pasta, I came across this at Epicurious and fell in love, and its been elsewhere. Years of looking for the lemon pasta I remembered as a child, and finally found it. Tweaked it a little to my own taste, replacing parsley with fresh basil and using linguine. If you don’t have tender asparagus, the europes best frozen ones are far better than woody fresh ones. Do NOT substitute lighter creams, it just does not work that well., Made this last night and it is delicious! Followed the receipe. Very creamy with a nice lemony flavor., LOVED this recipe. Made a few adaptations by steaming asparagus in oven with minced garlic, adding red pepper flakes to the sauce, and putting all of this into casserole dish to melt parm cheese. We loved it and will have it again!
