Recipe - Penne And Asparagas

8 ounce Penne
One half pound Asparagus; broken into bite
sized lengths
Grated Parmesan
Hot Sauce
Crushed Red Pepper

(I use Pea Pods at other times of the year)

Cook the Penne according to pkg directions. Steam/saute the Asparagus just
until it turns a bright green :) Drain the Asparagus badly
:) so that you retain a little of the cooking water. Mix Asparagus & Penne.
Add a few shakes each of Parmesan, Hot Sauce & Red Pepper and mix gently.
Taste & add more if you like.

My husband & my little greens eater like it best this way. She likes more
cheese & he like more hot sauce. I really prefer asparagus plainer. I just
steam/saute it, then right before I drain it I squeeze a lemon over the
whole pan. After I drain it I add freshly ground black pepper. Then I eat
it with my fingers. Eating it with your fingers is important!!
