  • Summary

    Every spoonful of this pasta has a happy jumble of lemony orzo, grassy asparagus, garlicky bread crumbs, fresh herbs and salty Parmesan. The pasta and thinly sliced asparagus cook together in the same pot, then rest in a lemony dressing while the garlic bread crumbs are toasted, so the pasta has time to absorb as much flavor as possible.

    Ingredients

    • Kosher salt and black pepper
    • 1 cup orzo
    • 1 pound asparagus, trimmed and thinly sliced on a diagonal (about 1/4-inch thick)
    • 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    • 1 teaspoon lemon zest plus 3 tablespoons lemon juice, plus more as needed (from about 1 large lemon)
    • 1/2 cup panko or homemade bread crumbs
    • 1 small garlic clove, finely grated
    • 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
    • 1/2 cup fresh dill, mint or parsley leaves (or any combination), torn if large
