Penne and asparagas

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
8 ounces Penne
½ pounds Asparagus; broken into bite sized lengths
Grated Parmesan
Hot Sauce
Crushed Red Pepper

Directions

(I use Pea Pods at other times of the year) Cook the Penne according to pkg directions. Steam/saute the Asparagus just until it turns a bright green :) Drain the Asparagus badly :) so that you retain a little of the cooking water. Mix Asparagus & Penne.

Add a few shakes each of Parmesan, Hot Sauce & Red Pepper and mix gently.

Taste & add more if you like.

My husband & my little greens eater like it best this way. She likes more cheese & he like more hot sauce. I really prefer asparagus plainer. I just steam/saute it, then right before I drain it I squeeze a lemon over the whole pan. After I drain it I add freshly ground black pepper. Then I eat it with my fingers. Eating it with your fingers is important!! Posted to fatfree digest by marya <marya@...> on Apr 10, 1998
