A refreshing and easy Bowtie Pasta that brings together tender asparagus, tangy artichokes and zingy lemon in a creamy sauce. Quick enough for a weeknight yet luxurious enough for a special occasion.
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook bowtie pasta according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.

Heat a separate large pan over medium-high heat. Add the quartered artichoke hearts, lemon juice, and lemon zest, and sauté for about 5 minutes.

To the pan, add the cut asparagus spears and continue to sauté for another 3-4 minutes until tender, stirring occasionally. Once done, remove from pan and set aside.

In the same pan, add minced garlic and stir for about a minute until fragrant.
5
Pour the Alfredo sauce into the pan, stirring well to combine with the garlic.
6
Add the pre-cooked pasta to the pan and stir to evenly coat in the sauce.

Return the sauteed artichokes and asparagus to the pan, stirring gently to mix them into the pasta.

Season the dish with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm, garnished with a scattering of shaved Parmesan.
