2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

1. Grill sausages and set aside. Once cool, slice into bite size rounds.
2. Prepare pasta according to package directions, drain, rinse to cool, drain thoroughly and set aside.
3. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and add the asparagus, cooking 6 - 8 minutes until almost tender. Immediately plunge the cooked asparagus into cold water. When cool, drain and set aside.
4. In a large bowl combine the pasta, asparagus, red onion and sun dried tomatoes and sausage.
