Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either.

This recipe was easy to follow, but the results were not as good as I expected. The pasta was a little gummy and the sauce was too thin.

The asparagus was a little overcooked, but the lemon butter sauce was delicious.

This dish was a little too bland for my taste. I think it would have been better with some added garlic or red pepper flakes.

I'm not a huge fan of asparagus, but I really enjoyed this dish. The lemon butter sauce really made the asparagus taste amazing.

I made this dish for a dinner party and it was a huge success. The rigatoni was cooked al dente and the asparagus was still slightly crunchy. The lemon butter sauce was the perfect complement to the asparagus.

This recipe was a hit with my family! The asparagus was perfectly cooked and the lemon butter sauce was divine. I will definitely be making this again.
