Pasta with Asparagus
This tasty low-fat dish is a breeze to make — pair it with a snappy white like Rodney Strong Sauvignon Blanc ($13.99 at Cool Springs Wine & Spirits).
Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1 inch pieces
1/4 cup chicken broth
1/2 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
8 ounces angel hair pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
1. Cook pasta according to package instructions.
2.
Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet. Saute asparagus in the pan over medium heat for about 3 minutes. Add chicken broth and mushroom slices; cook 3 minutes more.
3. Drain pasta, and transfer to a serving dish. Gently toss pasta with asparagus mixture; sprinkle with Parmesan and crushed red pepper.
