Ingredients:

Serving

2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
pinch of dried crushed red pepper
1 lb asparagus, stalks cut into 1/2-inch lengths
4 tomatoes, peeled, seeded, chopped
1 cup chicken stock
1/4 cup thinly slices fresh basil
8 oz penne pasta
2/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh italian parsley
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh basil

Directions:

Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and red pepper; sauté until garlic is golden, about 2 minutes. Add asparagus, tomatoes, stock and 1/4 cup sliced basil. Cook until asparagus is crisp-tender, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
Meanwhile, cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite. Drain. Transfer to large bowl.
Pour sauce over pasta. Add cheese, parsley and 1/4 cup chopped basil. Toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
