How to Make. Lemon Asparagus Pasta Salad

Boil some water in a large stockpot and cook the pasta according to the directions, about 13 minutes. Once cooked, strain and run under cold water to stop the cooking process. Shake off as much water as possible then place the pasta in a large bowl and set it aside.

Chop the asparagus and boil in water for 2-3 minutes. The asparagus does not need to be cooked through. It's best to leave it a bit crunchy. Once cooked, place in a bowl with ice and cold water to stop the cooking process. Strain and place the asparagus in the bowl with the pasta.

Place the vinaigrette ingredients in a glass container like a mason jar and shake. Add the chopped red onion, pistachios, basil, and parsley, to the bowl of pasta and drizzle the dressing over top. Toss and make sure everything is well coated. Serve immediately or cover and place in the fridge for later.
