Here's a light summer pasta dish that goes together in minutes. In fact, you cook the asparagus in the same water, at the same time, as you cook the pasta. What could be easier than that? Be sure to use fresh herbs. You can serve this dish hot or cold, so it's perfect for picnics or brown bag lunches. Asparagus Tip: When buying asparagus, look for firm, bright green spears with tightly closed tips. |
| Ingredients: |
1 pound fresh asparagus 8 ounces uncooked pasta such as spaghetti, vermicelli or angel hair 1 pint cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes, cut in half 4 -6 scallions, finely chopped 3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh thyme 1 teaspoon fresh oregano juice of 1 lemon 1/2 cup low fat Italian salad dressing |
| Instructions: | Snap off tough ends of asparagus and cut into 2 inch pieces. Cook pasta according to package instructions. Add asparagus to cooking pasta during last 2 minutes of cooking time. Drain, rinsing with cold water and place in an extra large bowl. Toss pasta and asparagus with remaining ingredients. Serve hot or cold. |
