Pasta with Asparagus

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup butter
• 2 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
• 1 lb thin asparagus spears
• Freshly ground pepper
• Angel hair pasta (4-6 cups), cooked
• 1 lemon, cut into wedges
• Freshly grated or shaved Parmesan or Asiago cheese

Cut asparagus spears diagonally into 1/4 inch pieces. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and saute just until it begins to turn golden.
