Provided by Mel

Categories     Pasta

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 to 2 pounds fresh asparagus spears
1/2 to 1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon coarse (kosher)
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon light or dark brown sugar
Pinch of black pepper
1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
1 pound penne pasta (regular or whole wheat)
4 tablespoons butter (cut into pieces (see note about browning the butter))
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (plus more for serving)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Snap the tough lower ends off the asparagus and discard them. Cut the asparagus spears into 1-inch pieces. Place the asparagus on a large, rimmed baking sheet and toss with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast until tender, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
  • While the asparagus roasts, add the vinegar to a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat until the vinegar is reduced to about 3 tablespoons, about 5-10 minutes.
  • Stir in the brown sugar, pepper and salt. Remove from the heat.
  • Cook the penne in a large pot of lightly salted boiling water until al dente (or desired tenderness), according to package directions. Drain the pasta and return to the pot.
  • Add the butter and toss with the pasta until the butter is melted and the pasta is evenly coated.
  • Add the vinegar reduction. Toss to combine well. Add the asparagus and Parmesan; toss. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
  • Serve immediately with extra Parmesan cheese, for serving, if desired.

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 ounces penne pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1 lb thin asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 cup cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup frozen peas (or fresh if you have)
1/2 cup vegetable stock
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaf

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the pasta, reserving about 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
  • In a large saute pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the asparagus, season with the salt and pepper, and cook for 3 minutes until slightly soft. Add the cherry tomatoes and peas. Cook for 2 minutes. Pour the stock into the pan and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook until the tomatoes start to burst and the stock is reduced by half, about 3 minutes.
  • Transfer the asparagus mixture to a large serving bowl. Add the cooked pasta and 1/2 of the Parmesan. Toss well, adding reserved pasta water, if needed, to loosen the pasta. Garnish with the remaining Parmesan and chopped basil.

Time 30m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

500 g green asparagus, cleaned and cut into 1 inch pieces
3 teaspoons oil
180 g whole wheat penne (or use bow ties or corkscrew macaroni)

1 -3 tablespoon garlic butter (for me 1 tbs is plenty, but adjust according to your liking)
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
salt and black pepper

  • Boil pasta in salted water according to package directions until al dente.
  • Meanwhile toss the asparagus with the oil, sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste and roast in the preheated oven at 200°C/400°F for 10-15 minutes. It should be roasty, but not too dark.

  • Drain pasta and add to a big mixing bowl. Add the butter (as much as you need to get the pasta shiny) and cheese. Mix well.
