Pasta With Asparagus image

A clipped out recipe from one of the TOH magazines submitted by J Fisher. She originally added red pepper flakes and hot sauce (1 tsp flakes & 3 dashes hot sauce) to this dish but due to allergies in our home I had to take those out and adjust with a bit more pepper and some extra garlic. I hope you enjoy it. I love making this in the Spring when asparagus is very fresh and has small stalks.

4 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon oregano, chopped fine
1/4 cup olive oil, extra virgin
1 tablespoon butter
1 lb fresh asparagus, cut into 1-1/2 inch pieces
1 dash salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper, freshly ground
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, freshly shredded
1/2 lb mostaccioli pasta, cooked & drained (or other long tubular pasta)

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, heat oil and butter and then saute garlic and oregano for 2-3 minutes, stirring often so they do not burn.

  • Add parmesan cheese and mix well.
  • Pour over hot prepared pasta and toss to coat.
  • Serve immediately.
