Ingredients:

Serving

8 oz farfalle pasta , small to medium in size bow tie any shaped pasta will work beautifully
1 lb asparagus , trim off tough ends, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
3 tbsp olive oil, divided
3 cups red onions, chopped
1 cup walnuts, halved, toasted
1/2 cup blue cheese , substitute gorgonzola for a bolder flavor
sea salt , to taste
ground pepper , to taste
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions:

Cook pasta in plenty of salted boiling water according to the package directions. Three (3) minutes before the pasta is done, add the asparagus. Drain.
Meanwhile, over medium heat, toast the walnuts in a large dry skillet until they are aromatic and lightly browned. CAREFUL not to burn. About 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl to cool. Once cooled, either leave halved or do a rough chop but leave some big pieces.
Over medium heat, heat 2 T of olive oil in a large skillet, add onion and cook until onion is softened and translucent, about 7-9 minutes. I prefer to cook longer until they are caramelized.
Toss the pasta & asparagus with the onion, walnuts and blue cheese. Stir in remaining 1T olive oil. Add salt & pepper, to taste.
