Pasta with Asparagus and Squash in a Lemon Sauce

So this recipe is from the Better Homes and Garden cookbook and is very similar to another dish I made in the past...The dish was okay.  If I never made the Pasta with asparagus and melon in a lemon sauce I probably would have liked it more.  So it wasn't a food flop...it just didn't excite me.

Pasta with Asparagus and Squash in a Lemon Sauce
Ingredients:
Rotini Pasta
2 cups asparagus, cut into 2 inch pieces
2 cloves garlic
1 small squash cut into small pieces
1/2 cup whipping cream
2 teaspoons lemon zest and the juice
Directions:
Cook pasta according to package, drain and set aside.  Cook asparagus, garlic and squash in 1 tablespoon melted butter in a sauce pan for about 2 minutes.  Transfer to bowl with cooked pasta.  Pour in the whipping cream with the lemon zest and juice and bring to a boil.  Boil for a few minutes while the sauce thickens and cooks down.  Pour over pasta and ENJOY!
