As soon as asparagus season begins, I love to incorporate these delicious veggies into any recipe. In my opinion, you can’t beat homemade pesto. For me, gently fried asparagus and a handful of white beans with pasta is the perfect bowl recipe. A squeeze of lemon adds a zingy freshness and a few toasted walnuts give the whole dish a slight nuttiness. A real summer hit!
