I tried this recipe from the Heather's new book, the First Year IBS and it was fabulous! She mentions trying other variations like peas and other vegetables in place of the asparagus. Has anyone found another variation that they love?

Me too! I just tried this for the first time the other day. I'm thinking of trying the artichokes next...I love artichokes, and they always taste great with lemon.

I am glad others have tried it and love it too! I might try it with peas. Artichokes sound good too. Any other ideas? Let me know how the artichoke version turns out!

OK - I actually got kinda creative and attempted to come up with my own thing inspired by the asparagus and lemon pasta.
While my pasta was cooking, in a blender I mixed a drained can of artichoke hearts, 1 clove of garlic, juice from 1/2 lemon, 1 T olive oil, 1/4 cup soy parm, salt & pepper, a dash of cayenne, and a small ladleful of water I stole from the cooking pasta.
After draining the pasta, I put the sauce in the pot I cooked the pasta in to kinda heat it up, then just dumped the pasta in with the sauce.
I think it was a smidgen too lemony, but not so bad that I didn't like it. I'll just use a little less next time.
