Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound fresh asparagus spears or one 10 oz pkg frozen cut asparagus
2 cans 14 1/2-oz low-sodium stewed tomatoes, cut up
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
1/2 teaspoon dried basil, crushed
1/2 teaspoon dired oregano, crushed
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper (optional)

Steps:

  • Snap off and discard the woody bases from the fresh asparagus, if using. Bias-slice asparagus into 1-inch pieces. (Or, thaw and drain the frozen cut asparagus.) Set aside.

Simmer the sauce, uncovered, about 15 minutes or till reduced to 2 1/2 cups, stirring occasionally. Add the evaporated milk all at once, stirring constantly. Heat mixture through; do not boil.
  • Meanwhile, prepare pasta according to package directions except add the asparagus, ham, and sweet pepper to the boiling water during the last 4 minutes of cooking time. Drain pasta and vegetables.
  • To serve, place pasta mixture on a serving platter. Spoon the sauce over the pasta. Serve with Parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve at once.
