Time 25m

Yield 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup pine nuts
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 lb thin asparagus, trimmed and cut diagonally into 1-inch pieces
1 garlic clove, minced
12 ounces gemelli pasta
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning

Steps:

  • Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the pine nuts and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant and lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Immediately remove from skillet and transfer to a small bowl; set aside.
  • Return the skillet to medium heat and add the oil. Add the asparagus and garlic and cook, stirring often, until the asparagus is slightly tender, 4-5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain and return to the pot.
  • Add the asparagus and garlic mixture, reserved pine nuts, lemon juice, salt and lemon-pepper seasoning; toss gently to combine, serve at once.

This recipe was too complicated for me. I'm not a very experienced cook, and I found it difficult to follow the instructions.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it more if I had added some more garlic or chili flakes.
