Directions
Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm, 8 to 10 minutes.
In a large frying pan, melt butter over medium heat.
Add onion and cook 3 to 4 minutes, or until softened.
Stir in asparagus and thyme.
Cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add stock, increase heat to medium-high, and cook until vegetables are crisp tender and stock is reduced, about 3 minutes.
Stir in peas and basil if using, and heat through.
Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
Serve with Parmesan cheese.
