Ingredients

    Pasta, cooked, 16 oz (remove)
    Asparagus, fresh, 453.6 grams (remove)
    *Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 16 tbsp (remove)
    Lemon Peel, 1 tbsp (remove)
    Tarragon, ground, 2 tbsp (remove)
    Goat Cheese, Soft, 170.1 grams (remove)
    *Tomatoes, red, ripe, raw, year round average, 2 cup cherry tomatoes (remove)
    Chicken Breast, no skin, 12 ounces (remove)

Directions

Cook your pasta in a large pot of well-salted water until it is almost tender, or about three minutes shy of what the package suggests. Add asparagus and cook until firm-tender, another two to three minutes. Drain both pasta and asparagus together, reserving one cup of pasta water.

Meanwhile, combine olive oil, lemon peel, tarragon and cheese in a large bowl, breaking up the goat cheese as you put it in. Add hot pasta and asparagus to bowl, along with a couple slashes of the pasta water. Toss until smoothly combined, adding more pasta water if needed. Season genersously with salt and pepper, and lemon juice if you feel it needs a little extra kick. (We did.)
