Bring a large pot of water to boil, adding salt and 1 teaspoon olive oil. Cook noodles in boiling water until al dente. Drain noodles, reserving 1 cup cooking liquid.
In a large heavy pot heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, garlic and crushed red pepper. Saute until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add asparagus and 1/4 cup reserved cooking liquid. Cover pot and cook until asparagus is crisp-tender about 2 minutes. Add noodles, 1/2 cup parmesan cheese and pesto. Toss until evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper.
