Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb pasta , fussli, penne, rotini (i used whole wheat penne
2 tbsp olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 onion, chopped
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper (i always add more!)
1 red pepper, diced
1 1/2 lbs asparagus , woody ends snapped off and stalk cut into 1 inch pieces
1 cup soft fresh goat cheese, cubed
2 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
1/4 cup fresh chives, chopped for garnish

Directions:

In a large pot of boiling water, cook pasta for 10 to 12 minutes or until tender but firm. Drain and return to pot, reserving 1/2 cup cooking liquid.
Meanwhile, in large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic, onion, salt and pepper, red pepper and asparagus. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally until vegetables are softened. (approx. 5 minutes) Note: I cooked garlic and onion first, as I like my pepper and asparagus a bit on the crunchy side.
Add 2 T chives; cook, uncovered for 3 minutes. Add cheese to pasta and toss well to coat, adding enough of the reserved cooking liquid to moisten if necessary. (I didn't bother.) Sprinkle with remaining chives.
