  1. Shave: Clean and dry 1 lb asparagus. Break off the tough bottom inch of each spear. Use a vegetable peeler to shave the asparagus into long strips, moving from the tip to the bottom.
  2. Saute: Heat 1 tsp olive oil in a large saute pan over medium/high heat, then add asparagus. Cook, tossing frequently, until asparagus noodles are bright green and slightly tender, just 1 to 2 minutes.
  3. Serve: Stir in ¼ cup pesto and ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese, topping with pine nuts, salt, and pepper.
