occasionally until slightly thickened. Stir in 2 T. lemon juice and add the
hot cooked fettuccine. Add the asparagus, 1/2 C. reserved pasta water, the
sun-dried tomatoes and the remaining 1 T. lemon juice. Season to taste with
salt and pepper.Heat mixture over low heat, gently tossing (and adding more pasta water as
needed if mixture becomes dry), until just heated through. Serve garnished
with reserved apsaragus tips and parmesan cheese curls made with a vegetable
