Fettuccine With Asparagus

This quick and easy dish is a wonderful way to combine fresh asparagus with pasta in a red sauce. It caught my eye initially as an alternative pasta dish for those who can't eat cream sauce preparations.

Steps

Heat water for the pasta.
In a separate skillet , heat the oil.
Add garlic , tomatoes , pepper , salt , and parsley and simmer for 8 minutes , stirring now and then to mix ingredients.
Add the asparagus.
Cover and simmer until stalks are not quite tender when you touch with a fork.
Remove from the heat and leave the cover on , which will allow the asparagus to tenderize a bit more.
Cook and drain the pasta.
Put in a serving bowl.
Add the skillet mixture to the bowl and 2t parmesan cheese.
Toss well.
Add additional parmesan cheese at the table , as preferred.
