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.
