With today the first day of Spring I wanted to share this yummy recipe easy to make and a great way to bring some color to the dinner table
Ingredients:

  • 14 oz of small shell pasta
  • 1 lb asparagus
  • 2 carrots, peeled
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 celery stalk, cut into thin strips
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and Pepper
  • Parmesan cheese

Method:

  1. Boil pasta according to packet instructions. Set aside.
  2. Prepare asparagus by cutting the tough ends off. Half the asparagus widthwise, then quarter them and cut them into thin strips. Use a vegetable peeler and slice carrot into strips as well. Cut the celery into very fine strips.
  3. In a saucepan, heat oil, then add onion and sauté until soft. Add the rest of the vegetables, salt and pepper and stir over medium heat for about 7 to 8 minutes.
  4. Combine vegetables with cooked pasta, season to taste and serve immediately with lots of delicious parmesan cheese.

    Thanks for the recipe, I love asparagus,
    Asparagus is a great-tasting vegetable with many health benefits due to its high folic acid content and other valuable vitamins and minerals.

    Your recipe is delicious but I added 2 fresh tomatoes diced with about 4 minutes left in your heating of the vegetables because I love tomatoes so much and that was the final touch for my taste buds!!!!
