This recipe is a great starting point, but I like to add a few extra ingredients to make it my own. I usually add some chopped sun-dried tomatoes and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.

I'm not a big fan of asparagus, but I actually really enjoyed this dish. The arugula and lemon helped to balance out the flavor of the asparagus.

This pasta dish was okay, but not as good as I was hoping. The asparagus was a bit tough and the arugula was a bit too peppery. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This recipe was a bit too lemony for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Otherwise, the dish was very good. The asparagus and arugula were cooked perfectly, and the pasta was al dente.
