Orzo Pasta with Fresh Asparagus

I like the creaminess of tiny orzo pasta.
You know a recipe is good when you can't
stop taste-testing it for seasonings.
By adding some fresh asparagus to the
orzo just before it's finished cooking,
makes this a one pot dish and a great one!

Ingredients:
4 cups water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup orzo pasta
2 cups fresh asparagus, 1" pieces
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice

Directions:
Heat water and salt to boiling.
Add pasta and stir, lower heat
and cook until almost done.
Add asparagus to pasta water,
cook 4 minutes or until tender.
drain pasta, place in serving bowl.
Place butter with pasta, stir to melt.
Drizzle with lemon juice.
Season with salt and black pepper. Serve.
