Asparagus And Penne Pasta

Source of Recipe

Tea Cozy


List of Ingredients

1 Lb. Asparagus, Washed well and cut into 1" pieces
3-4 Cloves Garlic, Sliced, Chopped Or Minced
1 Dried Chile Pod, Optional
1 Lb. Penne Cooked, BARELY Drained
2 Tsp. Olive Oil


Recipe

In a large skillet, saute the garlic and Chile pepper and asparagus in 2 tsp. olive oil. Only cook the asparagus till barely tender-you want them still crisp and bright green. Add this to the drained Penne. You want to leave a little water in the pasta to keep the pasta/asparagus juicy. How much water you leave is a matter of taste.
If you want them drier, drain them more. To add more kick to this dish, add red pepper flakes to your serving.
