Ingredients:
1 large bunch of fresh asparagus, about 14-16 spears
1 whole lemon, zested and juiced
450 grams pasta, cooked, drained, and cooled
1/2 cup chopped sun dried tomatoes, packed in oil
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish
1/3 cup fresh parsley, chopped, plus more for garnish
2 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp oil, from the jar of sun dried tomatoes
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp black sesame seeds for garnish, optional
Directions:
1.Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Wash and chop the asparagus into one-inch pieces. Toss them with 1 Tbsp of olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet. Dot the asparagus with the butter. Roast for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
3.In the meantime, cook the pasta in salted water. Cool the pasta completely by running under cold water. This helps to remove the starch from the pasta.

(Use a rubber spatula to scrape the oil and butter from the baking sheet into the bowl.) Toss all of these ingredients together. Season with more salt and pepper to suit your tastes.
