Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

On a baking sheet, toss together the asparagus, 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil, some salt and pepper to taste. Spread them out evenly and top with thin slices of one lemon.

Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for around 20-25 minutes. After it's cooked, chop the asparagus into thirds.

While the asparagus is roasting, boil water in a pot with a generous pinch of salt. Cook the fusilli pasta according to its package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat, then add 3 tablespoons of olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté until the garlic starts to brown.

Gradually whisk the flour into the skillet, making sure to incorporate the garlic. Cook this mixture for 30 seconds.

Add the almond milk into the skillet gradually as well, 1/2 cup at a time, whisking consistently. Season the sauce with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Reduce the heat slightly and allow the sauce to thicken, stirring occasionally.

For a smoother, creamier sauce, blend the sauce using a blender or immersion blender. Then return it to the pan.

Add the nutritional yeast and another pinch of salt and pepper into the sauce. If the sauce appears too runny, add a little additional flour.

Season the sauce further with the juice of the one and a half lemon.

Mix the cooked pasta and 3/4 of the chopped asparagus into the sauce.

To serve, divide the pasta among 2-3 plates and garnish with the remaining asparagus and some lemon zest.
