Pasta al Limone with Asparagus
Pasta al Limone with Asparagus
This is as an easy recipe for a mid week dinner that will rejuvenate you to get you to the weekend. We love it for its simplicity by also because it is very versatile. Swap out the asparagus for your favorite in season veggie and we recommend adding your favorite Casco Bay Creamery compound butter - lemon chive, garlic & herb, truffle to mix it up a little.

In a large pot over medium-high, add butter until melted. Add asparagus, season with salt, and cook, stirring often, until just beginning to take on color, about 1 minute.

Serve in large bowls and cover with more butter and lots of cheese.
