Many terrific recipes change hands at the monthly get-togethers of my ladies' bridge group. That's where I discovered this zippy, tempting dish. The garlic, asparagus, Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes create an irresistible taste combination. Jean Fisher, Redlands, California Ingredients:
5 garlic cloves, minced |
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes |
2 to 3 dashes hot pepper sauce |
1/4 cup olive oil |
1 tablespoon butter |
1 pound fresh asparagus, cut into 1-1/2-inch pieces |
salt to taste |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese |
1/2 pound mostaccioli or elbow macaroni, cooked and drained |
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, cook the garlic, red pepper flakes and hot pepper sauce in oil and butter for 1 minute. Add the asparagus, salt and pepper; saute until asparagus is crisp-tender, about 8-10 minutes. Stir in cheese. Pour over hot pasta and toss to coat. Serve immediately. Yield: 4-6 servings.
