Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound asparagus spears cut into 1 inch long pieces
10 ounces whole grain pasta
2 tablespoons olive oil
2-3 garlic scallions chopped or 4-6 garlic cloves minced
2-3 tablespoons water
sea salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions. 2. While the pasta cooks, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic scallions, and sauté 1 minute. Stir in the asparagus, cover, and cook 2 minutes more. Add the water, quickly cover, and steam for 2-3 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender. Remove from the heat, add the salt and pepper, and stir the ingredients to combine. 3. Reserving about 1/4 cup of the cooking water, drain the pasta and transfer to a warmed bowl. Add the asparagus mixture and toss. If the mixture appears dry, add the cooking water 1 tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached. 4. Sprinkle with cheese, if desired, and serve immediately
