Fresh Asparagus and Penne Pasta Meal from meeganmakes.com

 {Meegan’s Asparagus and Pasta Meal}

Ingredients:

1-1 lb box penne pasta

2-3 cloves minced, fresh garlic

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Butter (don’t use margarine)

Red pepper flakes

4-5 cups fresh asparagus, sliced diagonally into 2-3 inch pieces

freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Cook pasta until al dente.  In a separate pan, heat olive oil and butter until butter is melted.

Saute’ garlic in olive oil and butter until garlic begins to infuse the oil, it takes about 15 seconds. You will begin to smell the garlic as it releases into the oil. (Be careful not to burn garlic, as it tends to be very bitter when overcooked.)

Add a pinch of red pepper into oil (the amount depends on your taste)

Add asparagus to oil and garlic and saute’ until tender crisp.  

Pour oil, pepper flakes, garlic, butter and asparagus onto the hot pasta.  

Add the grated Parmesan cheese and toss lightly.

It’s divine served hot or at room temperature.

Adding sliced grill chicken on top of this dish makes it a heartier meal.
