Overall, I thought this dish was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I found that the asparagus was a little tough, even after cooking it for the recommended amount of time. I think I would try cooking it for a little longer next time.

This dish was a little too lemony for my taste, but I think that's just a matter of personal preference.

I'm not a huge fan of asparagus, but I really enjoyed this dish. The lemon-butter sauce really helped to balance out the flavor of the asparagus.

This pasta dish is a great way to use up leftover asparagus. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.

This pasta dish was a hit with my family! The asparagus was perfectly cooked and the lemon-butter sauce was light and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.
