Lemon Asparagus Pasta

I thought this recipe sounded interesting. I love asparagus and I love pasta, so I thought I'd try it out. Turns out its really good!

8 oz (250 g) angel hair pasta
2 1/2 cups asparagus (cut into 1-inch pieces)
1 tbsp butter
1/2 cup green onion, chopped
1 1/2 tsp lemon peel, grated
3 tbsp lemon juice
3/4 cup milk
2 eggs
1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg

Cook pasta in boiling water for 4 minutes. Add asparagus and cook 2 minutes longer or until tender. Drain.

While pasta cooks, melt butter in large frypan over medium heat. Add green onions and lemon peel and saute 1 minute. Add lemon juice and cook until liquid is almost evaporated.

Beat eggs and milk together. Add with pasta and asparagus to pan with green onions. Cook over low heat until milk mixture is slightly thick, about 4 minutes. Do not boil.

Stir in dill, salt and nutmeg. Serve immediately.
