Pasta with Asparagus and Herbs

Yum, Yum, Yummmm is all I have to say. If you like Pasta and you like Asparagus, this dish is for you. Just a nice, fresh, healthy and easy recipe to make for a weekly dinner. We had it last night for dinner and I just had the leftovers for lunch. We all loved it. Hope you enjoy!

1 pound pasta
1 pound asparagus cut into 2-3 inch pieces
Juice of 1 or 2 lemons, depending how lemony you like it
2 teaspoons of lemon zest
1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (basil, thyme, oregano)
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
1/2 cup crumbled feta

Cook pasta in boiling salted water. Add asparagus for the last 2 minutes and boil until asparagus is crisp-tender and pasta is al dente. Drain asparagus and pasta, reserving 1 cup cooking water. 

Mix lemon juice, zest and herbs together in bowl. While whisking, drizzle oil until mixture emulsifies, then season with salt and pepper. Toss the pasta and asparagus with sauce. Crumble feta throughout and then eat it up!
