Pasta with lemon asparagus

Asparagus is something I only recently learned to eat. I've always been pretty picky when it comes to food. When I was little, I was forced to stay at the table to finish my lasagna for example, a dish that I have no problem with eating now. But I have both gotten older and my taste buds have changed and because of that i have started to try more food. I think a large part is because I dare to try more too. When you are young, you have your habitual patterns and it can be very scary with food that is not something that your mother has always been cooking...

My interest in food has also grown bigger since i've gotten my own kitchen. I lived in a student dorm when I studied and I didn't want to spend any more time then i had to in that kitchen. So I muddled around with the same seven dishes for about three years...
