Ingredients:  
1/3 cup pine nuts
kosher salt
6 ounces bow tie pasta
14 medium asparagus spears, peeled and cut into 1/5 inch pieces
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 large cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup drained oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (optional)

Directions:
Directions:
Put the pine nuts in a dry small skillet over medium heat. Sake constantly until evenly toasted on all sides, about 4 minutes. Set aside.

Fill a large saucepan three fourths full of water. Bring to a boil over high heat and add kosher salt. (We add 1.5 teaspoon kosher salt per quart of water.) Add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until barely tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the asparagus to the pan and cook until tender-crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain the pasta and asparagus, reserving 3/4 cup of the cooking water.

Set te pan over medium heat and heat the olive oil. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant and lightly brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Return the pasta and asparagus to the pan, then add the reserved cooking water. Add the tomatoes (if using), Parmesan cheese, Boursin, dill, and the 3/4 teaspoon lemon pepper and toss to combine. Stir in the pine nuts. Season with kosher salt to taste and more lemon pepper if necessary.

Divide the pasta between 2 bowls and garnish with parsley, if desired, serve immediately.
