Ingredients:

1 lb cheese tortellini
1 lemon
2 tbsp unsalted butter
8 oz thin asparagus, thinly sliced diagonally
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp pepper
grated parmesan

Cook tortellini as directed, drain.

Meanwhile, using a vegetable peeler, remove 3 strips of zest from the lemon. Thinly slice the zest.

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the aspartagus and garlic, season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, until beginning to soften, 2 to 3 mins. Increase the heat to medium-high, add the lemon zest and cook, tossing until the butter turns golden brown, about 2 mins.

Toss the mixture with the tortellini. Serve with parmesan, if desired.
