Preparation

Step 1

In a large salted pot, boil the asparagus for 2 minutes. Remove from water and set aside.

Return water to a boil and add the pasta. Cook according to directions. Drain and reserve 1 cup pasta water.

Halve, pit and cube the avocado. Squeeze lemon or lime juice over avocado to avoid browning.

In a skillet, melt the butter and add the asparagus and drained artichokes. Cook for 2 minutes. Add the cooked pasta, avocado, pesto, romano cheese, salt and pepper. Cook until combined.
