I just threw this together and it was delicious. I'm sure it could work with most veggies too. Asparagus is just my favorite one to pair with pasta. :) this is no one's recipe, so I had to remember it as I was putting it together.
Here is what I used today
Ingredients:
Asparagus
Red bell peppers
1-2 cloves of garlic, minced
olive oil
lemon juice (fresh is better)
1/2 cup or so of chicken brothparmasean cheese
pasta of choice
Directions:
Cook pasta as desired. I have used penne and linguini before but tonight i just used regular spaghetti noodles.
saute garlic in about 4-5 tablespoons of olive oil. Add a few squeezes of lemon juice. Cut asparagus into 1 inch pieces and add to garlic/lemon stuff. Cut bell peppers into bite sized pieces and add to skillet. Add small amount of chicken broth - about 1/4 to 1/2 cup to blend flavors and create a delicious juice. Cook until desired tenderness.
Toss with freshly cooked pasta and parmesan cheese. :) Enjoy. I served this with fruit - pineapple tonight. It was stinkin good. I think I said that about the last recipe I made too.
ps, i like the flavor of citrus a LOT, so before serving, i squeezed a small squirt of lemon before eating.
That looks awesome too. I think I would add mushrooms to it if I tried it.
