Lemon Asparagus Pasta

Lemon Asparagus Pasta

Lemon Asparagus Pasta is a great Meatless Monday meal that is bright, and flavorful. Ricotta cheese adds some protein  and the combination of fresh asparagus and lemon work really nicely together. The best part though is that it is super easy to make in one pot!

Monday seems to be the toughest day of the week right? We are a bit tired from the weekend and back to work. We need something simple, comforting and easy to make for dinner.

You can prep and cook this Lemon Asparagus Pasta in under 25 minutes.

If you like asparagus try this Mushroom Asparagus Frittata. It is another easy to make Meatless Monday recipe.
