1
Cook the Linguini
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguini and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2
Prepare the Asparagus
Trim the ends of the asparagus and cut them into 2-inch pieces. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the asparagus and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until tender.
3
Add Sun-dried Tomatoes
Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.
4
Make the Pesto Cream Sauce
Lower the heat and add the heavy cream to the skillet. Stir in the pesto sauce and mix well until heated through. Add salt and black pepper to taste.
5
Combine with Pasta
Add the cooked linguini to the skillet and toss gently to coat the pasta with the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a little pasta water to reach desired consistency.
6
Serve
Serve the pasta hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese.
