Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 large egg yolks
1 cup heavy cream
2 ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano, finely grated (1 1/4 cups), plus more for serving
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest, plus more for serving (optional), and 1 tablespoon fresh juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
12 ounces linguine
1 pound asparagus, trimmed and cut on the diagonal into 1-inch pieces (about 2 cups)
