Instructions
Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Boil the pasta according to package directions until just shy of al dente. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking water and drain.
Meanwhile, heat the oil and butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the mushrooms and asparagus, cook until the mushrooms start turning brown, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute
Add 2 tbsp pesto and pasta water and stir. Lower the heat, toss in the pasta and simmer until the pasta is al dente, 1-2 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and additional pesto if needed. Serve with grated cheese.
