Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (8 ounce) package spaghetti
½ pound asparagus, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 ounces chevre (soft goat cheese), crumbled

1/5 stars. This recipe was a waste of time and ingredients. I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy.

This dish was a disaster! The asparagus was overcooked and the sauce was curdled. I don't recommend this recipe.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think I'll add some red pepper flakes next time to give it a little kick.

The sauce was a bit too thin for my liking. I think I'll add a little cornstarch next time to thicken it up.

This dish was a bit too lemony for my taste, but I think I just added too much. Next time I'll use less.

This pasta dish was a delight! The combination of asparagus, goat cheese, and lemon was harmonious and flavorful. The asparagus remained crisp-tender, and the goat cheese added a creamy richness that complemented the bright citrus notes from the lemo
