Tonight was Pasta Asparagus night.  One of my families favorites!  Everyone I have made it for requests the recipe.  Most of them now have it in their monthly rotations.  It is a quick, simple, and meatless meal.  Perfect for what we call "Meatless Monday" at our house.  My aunt gave me the recipe several years ago.  Not sure where she got it from but I thought I would share it with you.

Pasta Asparagus

Ingredients:
1/4 cup olive oil
2 TBSP. margarine
1 Tsp. red pepper flakes
5 cloves garlic or 4 1/2 tsp. minced garlic from a jar.
2 boxes of green giant asparagus or two bunches of fresh cut into bit size pieces
1 box of penne pasta
1 1/2 cups of shredded parmesan

Directions:
Fill a pot with water and bring to boil for pasta.  Once the water is boiling add the pasta.  Heat oil and margarine in a pan.  Add pepper flakes and garlic.  Saute for 1-2 minutes.  Add in asparagus and cook for 7-9 minutes or til pasta is done.  Drain pasta and return to pot.  Add in the asparagus mixture and stir.  Add in the parmesan cheese and stir til combined.  Enjoy!
