Provided by kelsa94

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 ounces ziti or penne pasta
3/4 pound asparagus, trimmed and cut diagonally into 2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until almost tender, about 7 minutes. Add the asparagus and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta and asparagus are tender, about 3 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the ricotta and the reserved cooking liquid until creamy. Add the pasta mixture, mozzarella, Parmesan and basil and toss until well mixed. Serve at once

I'm not a big fan of asparagus, so I substituted broccoli instead. It was still delicious!

The recipe was easy to follow, but the dish didn't turn out as well as I hoped. I think I overcooked the pasta.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would use less cheese next time.

I found that the dish needed a little more salt and pepper to taste. Other than that, it was perfect.
