Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 cloves garlic
15 spears asparagus
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt, to taste
1 teaspoon pepper, to taste
8 oz penne pasta
4 cups fresh basil leaves
⅓ cup pine nuts
2 cloves garlic
½ cup olive oil
½ cup parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup sun-dried tomato
½ cup parmesan cheese, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425˚F/220˚C.
  • In a large pot, bring 4 quarts of water to a rolling boil.
  • Remove the woody ends of the asparagus and discard. Cut the remaining spears into quarters and place on a baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil, salt, and pepper over the asparagus and toss so each piece is evenly coated. Bake for 10 minutes.
  • In the boiling water, cook the penne for 10-12 minutes, or until al dente, and drain.
  • Using a blender or food processor, blend basil, pine nuts, garlic, and olive oil until it becomes a paste. Add in Parmesan and salt and blend.
  • In a large bowl, combine cooked pasta, sun-dried tomatoes, roasted asparagus, and pesto (about 3 hefty tablespoons). Toss together and serve hot or cold, and top with Parmesan cheese.
  • Enjoy!
