Start by preheating the oven to 425 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Next, trim the asparagus and place in a single layer on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until tender. Let cool slightly then slice into 1-inch pieces.
While the asparagus bakes, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta until al dente. Drain and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Add the asparagus, pesto, sun dried tomatoes, and mozzarella. Toss to combine.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
