Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente.

While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the asparagus and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender.

Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional minute until fragrant. Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet with the asparagus.

Stir in lemon juice, lemon zest, and Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss everything together until well combined.

Serve immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and lemon zest if desired.
