BENEFITS OF MSKUS

• ½ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes • 8 large basil leaves • 2 lemons, halved • 2 oz. Parmesan, finely grated (about 1 cup), plus more for serving

MSKUS, or Musculoskeletal Ultrasound, offers a number of important advantages in terms of safety and effectiveness. Musculoskeletal ultrasound simply uses sonicwaves, and there is no exposure to radiation. Ultrasound is noninvasive and offers real-time imaging. This ability to capture the movement of musculoskeletal components, differentiates it from other imaging modalities, and can permit more accurate diagnoses. We can “see your pain” and help create an effective and individualized plan of care unique to you.

Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Drain pasta, reserving 1½ cups pasta cooking liquid. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium-high until shimmering. Add asparagus, season with salt, and cook, stirring often, until just beginning to take on color, about 1 minute. Add garlic, lemon zest, and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Remove from heat and let sit until pasta is done. Add pasta and basil to pot with asparagus mixture and return to medium-high heat. Squeeze juice from both lemons into pot and add 2 oz. Parmesan and 1 cup reserved pasta cooking liquid. Cook, tossing vigorously and adding more pasta cooking liquid if needed, until sauce is creamy and emulsified and pasta is coated, about 1 minute. Taste and season with more salt if needed. Remove and discard garlic. Divide pasta among bowls, placing a lemon strip in each, and top with more Parmesan. https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/spaghetti-al-limone-with-asparagus
