Pasta and Sauteed Asparagus

I was trying something new this week and it turned out pretty amazing I thought :)  So i wanted to share.

It was a pasta and asparagus dish and I modified a vinaigrette recipe I got in my cooking class.

Lemon pepper Pasta with Asparagus
Ingredients:
    1 package IP Pasta, prepared
    2 c. fresh asparagus, spears chopped in thirds
    1/2 leek, finely diced
    2 tsp lemon juice
    1/4 tsp lemon zest (optional)
    2 tsp apple cider vinegar
    3 Tbsp olive oil
    Garlic salt, sea salt and black pepper to taste

Whisk the leek, lemon juice, zest, vinegar and olive oil together.  Add garlic salt, sea salt and pepper to taste (I started with about 1/8 tsp of each but added more.  It depends on your preferences)

Set aside.

Add 1-2 tsp of olive oil to a saute pan over medium heat.  Add asparagus and saute until done (about 10 minutes stirring/flipping it occasionally).  When the asparagus is fork tender, remove from heat and add the prepared pasta and about 2-3 tsp of the vinaigrette.  Stir to combine.

Eat and enjoy!!
