Asparagus & Farfalle Pasta 1-16 oz. bag of frozen cut asparagus, thawed and blotted dry or 1# fresh asparagus, lightly blanched 1/4-1/3 cup light olive oil 1-bulb garlic, separated into cloves and minced(I use the pre-minced garlic in a jar) 4 oz. of farfalle(bowtie)pasta, cooked and drained Grated parmesan cheese Heat the olive oil in a large skillet on medium and add the cut asparagus. Saute for approx. one/two minutes until lightly browned and starting to carmelize. Add the minced garlic and saute for another 30 seconds or until just lightly browned. DON'T burn the garlic! Burned garlic is horrible.  Then add the pasta and saute for another minute. Sprinkle on some sea salt and pepper. Serve with the parmesan cheese.Makes approx. 4 servings. |

This comes just in time for asparagus season, foz! It sounds a little like pasta primavera. Ever made that? |

Foz, I'm drooling just reading over the recipe, and hopefully this time next spring I'll have enough asparagus growing to be able to eat more than a couple of stalks. This year was the first year of production, so I resisted taking much out of either patch. Just wait, next year....oooh boy!  I'm bookmarking your recipe to my Kitchen section, and will most likely try it out on green beans later on this summer. Thanks!

Thanks!MBV, this would be so much better with fresh asparagus but i'm just too lazy to bother with it. wish i had room to grow it, tho. even in season it's expensive. |
