Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions, then drain and keep warm.
Meanwhile, thinly slice the leek and cut the asparagus into 3 cm pieces.
Heat the oil in a frying pan and gently sauté the leek for about five minutes, then add the asparagus. Add the lemon juice too. Put a lid on and cook for 3- 5 minutes. If it’s getting too dry, add some of the pasta’s cooking water.
