Bring a pot of salted water to the boil and cook pasta al dente.

While pasta is cooking, let's prepare the vegetables.

Cut off woody ends of asparagus. Cut into 1-inch pieces. Heat a pot of boiling water and add asparagus.  Cook for 2 minutes.  Drain.

While you are waiting for the water to boil, chop the garlic and the bell pepper.

In a skillet, heat oil.  Saute bell pepper for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften. Add garlic and saute for another minute.  Add corn and cook for another 2 minutes.  Add blanched asparagus and pasta and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Add juice from lemon, parsley, cheese (if using), salt and pepper and mix well.

Garnish with more cheese if desired.
