1. Prepare the asparagus. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Toss the asparagus with the olive oil, lemon juice, and salt and pepper. Arrange the asparagus in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 7 to 8 minutes until browned. Remove the asparagus from the oven.
2. For the pasta, cook the pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the olive oil. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté for 3 minutes. Add in the walnuts and sauté for 2 minutes. Add in the red pepper flakes and parsley. Drain the pasta, reserving about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of the cooking liquid.
3. Add the pasta to the onion-garlic-walnut mixture and toss. Add in the reserved cooking liquid, roasted asparagus, goat cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Add salt and pepper to taste, and toss again.
