Servings:

Heat a large, deep skillet with a cover over medium-high heat. Add sausage and onion and cook, breaking up sausage until browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes.
16 ounces ground turkey sausage, ½ cup finely diced yellow onion
Add garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute or until fragrant.
1 clove garlic, minced
Add uncooked pasta and chicken broth, and turn heat to high to bring to a boil, stirring, making sure the pasta is pressed down into broth.
3 cups uncooked gemelli pasta, 3 cups chicken broth
Reduce heat to medium-low to maintain simmer. Cook, covered, for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally so pasta cooks evenly and to check that it isn't sticking to the bottom. When pasta has about 4 minutes cook time remaining, stir in asparagus.
3 cups asparagus, cut into 1-inch pieces
When pasta is cooked to your liking, add Parmesan cheese, dill, red pepper flakes, and lemon juice. Stir to combine and serve immediately.
½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese, ¼ cup minced fresh dill, 1 pinch red pepper flakes, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

More lemon flavor: If you like, zest the lemon before juicing it. Stir in the zest with the juice, or sprinkle it on top of each serving.
Pasta: You can use other types of pasta. If the pasta is larger or smaller, it will affect the cooking time. Use the package instructions as a guide.
