Procedure
0. Wash the asparagus thoroughly, remove the woody ends, and separate the tips from the rest of the stalk. Cut the stalks into rounds and set the tips aside.
1. In a pan with a drizzle of oil and a clove of garlic, sauté the chopped stems for 3–4 minutes. Add a ladle of hot water or vegetable broth, cover, and cook for another 8–10 minutes, until tender. Remove the garlic, blend the stems with 1 tablespoon of oil and the grated Parmesan until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
2. In a small pan, melt the butter and sauté the asparagus tips for 2–3 minutes over medium heat. Add a pinch of salt and the grated lemon zest at the end.
3. In a nonstick pan, without oil, toast the almonds until golden and crispy. Be careful not to burn them!
4. Cook the pasta al dente in plenty of salted water. Drain, reserving a cup of the cooking water. Stir in the asparagus cream in the pan, adding a little of the cooking water to achieve a velvety consistency.
5. Serve the pasta with the sautéed asparagus tips, an extra grated lemon zest, the toasted almonds, and, if desired, a final sprinkling of Parmesan cheese or black pepper.
6. You can add a few fresh basil or mint leaves for a hint of flavor. For a more intense flavor, replace some of the Parmesan with aged pecorino.
