This is one of my all-time favorites, and anyone who has ever tried it has heartily agreed. It is simple, it is delicious and perfect as a meatless meal. Ingredients:
1 lb penne rigate |
1 lb asparagus, cooked |
3 tablespoons butter |
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans diced tomatoes |
3 tablespoons heavy cream |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated |
Directions:
1. Put water on for pasta; salt when boiled. Cook pasta according to package directions, then drain.
2. Meanwhile, cut asparagus into 1-inch pieces. Heat butter and olive oil over medium heat and saute garlic and asparagus pieces for 5-6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Add tomatoes and their liquid. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer, uncovered, slowly for about 15 minutes. Add Parmesan cheese and stir until well-combined.
4. Add cream; cook and stir for about 3 minutes.
5. Pour over cooked pasta and serve. Pass additional Parmesan cheese to taste.
