If you're looking for a dinner that's equal parts cozy and fresh, this creamy lemon asparagus pasta recipe is calling your name. It’s rich and comforting, but with just enough zing from the lemon to keep things bright and springy. Plus, it’s ready in the time it takes to boil pasta – aka, a total weeknight win.
Here’s the vibe: tender asparagus and sweet green peas get cozy with pasta (cavatappi or penne work great), all tossed in a buttery, garlicky cream sauce with a hit of lemon juice and zest. Oh, and of course, there’s cheese – parmesan or asiago, your call.
A few tips to make it shine:
Undercook your pasta by a couple of minutes – it finishes cooking in the sauce and soaks up all that flavor.
Don’t skip the lemon zest at the end! It’s the little touch that makes the whole dish pop.
Use that pasta water! It brings everything together into a silky, dreamy sauce.
This one’s perfect for spring dinners on the patio, or for pretending it’s spring even when it’s not. Add a glass of white wine, and you’re golden. Give it a whirl, and enjoy every creamy, lemony bite! 🍋🍝

I got these for my husband and he LOVED them! Starting with the box - so well made and packaged - beautifully designed and balanced handle - everything is perfect about the knife. Great job F N Sharp!
Functional, great capacity, and beautifully made. We tossed our old knife block out, but included the old knives in with the new, as there is ample room.
