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!
