TORTELLINI WITH ASPARAGUS AND TOMATOES



Tortellini With Asparagus and Tomatoes image

I whipped this together after reading a similar recipe calling for spinach instead of asparagus. My bf really enjoyed this. I hope you do too! P.S. I am going to be honest and tell you I don't measure anything, so these are really approximations of the ingredients I used. PLEASE adjust to what you feel would better suite your taste.

ASPARAGUS WITH TOMATOES



Asparagus with Tomatoes image

This is a delicious way to take advantage of early spring's flavorful asparagus. A great dish to accompany large, busy meals, as most of the work can be done ahead of time and the asparagus reheated with the tomatoes and garlic at the last minute while the roast (or whatever else) is resting. Also a delicious preparation for green beans in place of the asparagus.
