Salmon And Asparagus Pasta - Clean Eating - cooking recipe

Ingredients

8 asparagus spears, cut into chunks
4 ounces penne pasta, whole wheat (can use regular)
1 cup low-fat ricotta
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup pasta water, reserved
4 salmon fillets, cooked and flaked (about 1 lb)
salt and pepper, to taste

Preparation

Blanch asparagus (to save time, blanch in a colander placed in the pasta water as it boils), then run under cold water to stop the cooking process.
Broil pasta.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine ricotta, lemon juice and, once pasta is done, water.
Toss with asparagus, pasta, salmon salt and pepper.
