Ingredients

Coarse salt and ground pepper
3/4 pound spaghetti
1 pound asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 ounces Parmesan, grated (1/2 cup), plus more for serving
5 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup part-skim ricotta

Steps:

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta 1 minute less than package instructions. Add asparagus and cook 1 minute. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in pot over medium-high and add 1/4 cup pasta water. Add pasta mixture and Parmesan and cook, stirring, 1 minute. If necessary, add remaining pasta water to create a light sauce that coats pasta.
In a small nonstick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium. Add eggs and cook, stirring, until just set. Divide pasta and eggs among four plates, top with ricotta, and season with salt and pepper.

I would definitely make this dish again, but I would make a few changes. I would use less butter and I would add some garlic and pepper to the eggs.

The eggs were a bit overcooked for my liking, but the asparagus was delicious.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning.

I'm not usually a fan of asparagus, but this recipe changed my mind. The asparagus was perfectly cooked and the eggs added a rich flavor.

The combination of asparagus, scrambled eggs, and pasta was surprisingly delicious. I loved the vibrant green color of the asparagus and the fluffy texture of the eggs.
