Prepare the pasta according to the cooking instructions on the package.

Cook each type separately to keep flavors distinct. Chill the pasta in a colander under cold running water. Reserve enough cooking water from the lemon pepper pasta to cook the asparagus. Chill the cooked asparagus. Toss all together, adjusting the seasoning with salt and pepper.

NOTES : I used smoked turkey rather than ham.
