Pasta with Asparagus and Peas
Recipe courtesy Kathleen Daelemans

1 pound penne rigate
1 bunch asparagus, cut into 2-inch pieces
2 cups fresh shelled peas
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup loosely packed, freshly grated Parmesan
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh, chopped oregano
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Place penne in a large pot of rapidly boiling, salted water. When pasta is about 2 minutes from being done, add the asparagus and peas and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until the pasta and asparagus are cooked. Reserve 1 cup of cooking liquid. Drain pasta and return to the pot. Place the pot over low heat.
To the pasta and veggies, add only as much water as is necessary to create a nice "sauce". Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and add the garlic, cheese, olive oil, and oregano and toss to combine. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Answer 4

I have always found that a good fish needs little seasoning and goes well with angel hair pasta and veggies...I love asparagus with my salmon.

You could also try garam marsala chicken. Cook the same way you cook your chicken breast putting it in an olive oil and garam marsala. very sweet flavor so you could always add a hot spice to it.

If you want to go vegan, a good grilled mushroom and vegetable dish with steamed rice is always nice. Ask the guy at the local market about the mushrooms and he can help you pick the right flavored one.

I cook by taste so I am sorry I am vague about amounts.
