Make
- Bring a saucepan of water to boil. Salt generously and add pasta. Cook until almost tender, ~7 minutes. Add asparagus and continue cooking until pasta is al dente, ~3 minutes more. Save 1 cup / 235 ml (for 4 servings; adjust accordingly if customizing) of salty, starchy pasta water before draining.
- Heat a skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat. Add butter. Once butter melts, add shallots and saute until transparent, ~ 2 minutes. Add spinach and cook, covered, until spinach wilts, ~3 minutes. Add pasta, asparagus, goat cheese and toss to combine. To form a creamy sauce, add reserved pasta water a bit at a time. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and top with chives, lemon zest and a squeeze of lemon juice. Enjoy!
