Lemon Asparagus Pasta With White Beans

I experimented with a lemon asparagus pasta recipe last week and it did not disappoint. It was 90 degrees but all I wanted to do was sit outside and dig into a delicious bowl of carbs. I consider carbs to be a form of self-care. To keep it light, I stuck to citrus and veggies with a little vegan cheese mixed in. It was super easy and oh so delicious. I also love this recipe because it contains lots of natural prebiotic foods like asparagus and garlic.
