- Add pasta, asparagus tips, and 1/2 cup reserved water to asparagus sauce and cook over high heat, stirring, 3 to 5 minutes, or until pasta is almost al dente and sauce coats pasta. Add more cooking water, 1/4 cup at a time, until sauce coats pasta but is a little loose (the cheese will thicken it slightly).
- Stir in Parmigiano-Reggiano and salt and pepper to taste and cook, stirring, until cheese is melted.

GRILLED ASPARAGUS WITH LEMON DRESSING
Although steamed asparagus has an unmatched purity of taste, I love the earthy, charred flavor added by the grill, a flavor that can also be achieved with stove-top pan grilling, which combines high heat and a dry, heavy skillet.

Steps:
- Snap off the woody ends of the asparagus; most spears will break an inch or two from the bottom. Peel the stalks up to the flower bud. Meanwhile, start a charcoal fire or heat a gas grill; if you're cooking indoors, heat a cast-iron or other heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it smokes.
- To grill the asparagus spears, toss them with about a tablespoon of oil, mixing with your hands until spears are coated. Season well with salt and pepper. Grill until tender and browned in spots, turning once or twice, in all 5 to 10 minutes.
- To pan grill the asparagus, do not oil or season them. Just toss them in the hot skillet, and cook, turning the spears individually as they brown, until tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove as they finish, and season with salt and pepper.
- Mix together the lemon juice and shallots, then stir in enough olive oil to add a little body and take the edge off the sharpness of the lemon; the mixture should still be strong. Season it well with salt and plenty of black pepper, and stir in the parsley. Serve the asparagus hot or at room temperature with grilled fish. Spoon the sauce over everything.

Tips:
- When selecting asparagus, choose spears that are bright green, firm, and have tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are wilted, limp, or have brown or yellow spots.
- To prepare the asparagus, snap off the tough, woody ends of the spears. You can do this by bending each spear until it snaps naturally.
- If the asparagus spears are thick, you may want to peel them before cooking. To do this, use a vegetable peeler to remove the tough outer layer of the spears.
- Asparagus can be cooked in a variety of ways, including steaming, roasting, grilling, and sautéing. For this recipe, we will be steaming the asparagus.
- To make the Parmesan lemon sauce, simply whisk together grated Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. You can adjust the amount of each ingredient to taste.
- Once the asparagus is cooked, drizzle it with the Parmesan lemon sauce and serve immediately.
Conclusion:
Asparagus with Parmesan lemon sauce is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The asparagus is tender and flavorful, and the Parmesan lemon sauce is tangy and creamy. This dish is also very easy to make, and it can be ready in just a few minutes.
