Cutco, ektuelleh... that peeler'll plane off your knuckles or your fingernails if you don't watch out. I also zested the lemon with the peeler for big zests rather than little grated powdery ones. The recipe likes lots of garlic and plenty of lemon juice and zest. Keeps it peppy. Be generous with the cheese, too. One day I will throw in pancetti, like I said. The asparagus tops, lightly steamed, make an excellent garnish to top each serving with, and what else are you going to do with the very points of asparagus spears anyway? Really weird ice cream?

Seems to balance best with fetticine. Linguine, those noodles are too narrow.
