Method

STEP 1
Cook pasta following packet directions. Drain and keep warm.
STEP 2
Meanwhile, melt butter in a small non stick frypan over medium heat. Add breadcrumbs and cook stirring until golden and crispy. Transfer to a bowl and stir in lemon zest. Set aside.
STEP 3
Heat oil in a large non stick frypan over medium-high heat. Add asparagus and garlic, cook, tossing occasionally for 1 minute or until asparagus is just tender. Add hot pasta and Prodivore d'Italia Pesto to frypan and toss well to combine.
STEP 4
Divide pasta between serving bowls. Top with toasted breadcrumbs, pepper and shaved parmesan. Garnish with basil. Serve immediately.
Tips
Use a vegetable peeler to shave asparagus spears. Add 1 thinly sliced smoked chicken breast to frypan when cooking asparagus, if desired.
