Categories     Pasta

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 pound penne
1/4 cup and 1 teaspoon olive oil
1 bunch asparagus
1/2 cup water
3 tablespoons lemon juice
Grated rind of 1 lemon
Salt
Pepper
1 jarred red pepper, diced
2 tablespoons pine nuts

Steps:

  • Prepare penne according to package directions. Once cooked, toss with 1 teaspoon olive oil and chill. Cut off 1 - 2 inches of the base of asparagus and discard. Slice asparagus into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Simmer in skillet with water until tender, about 12 minutes. Drain asparagus and plunge into a bowl of ice water. This will help maintain the bright green color and stop the asparagus from cooking further. Toast pine nuts in oven until golden. In small bowl squeeze juice from lemon and grate the rind to create lemon zest. In large bowl whisk together lemon and rind, salt, pepper and remaining olive oil. Add asparagus, drained red pepper, pine nuts and pasta. Serve.
