TOMATO AND ASPARAGUS CARBONARA
This is a very versatile recipe I found on "cooking light"- the recipe calls for tomato and asparagus with the pasta - but you can try bell pepper, squash, string beans, onion or mushrooms. Adding some rotisserie chicken chunks or canned flaked tuna fish, is great too! This is a great family quick and easy recipe.

Steps:
- 1. Bring 3 qts. water to a boil in a large pan; while preparing the following: Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add oil to pan to coat. Add asparagus, sauté 3 1/2 minutes. Add garlic sauté for another minute. Add tomatoes; cook for 6 more minutes, or until tomatoes are tender.
- 2. Combine cheese, salt, pepper, and egg in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk.(don't worry about the raw egg - the heat from adding the hot pasta later will cook the egg, thickening it into a light, creamy sauce.)
