Asparagus Pasta
"This is based on a recipe from F.com, but I've doubled the amount of asparagus, changed the type of pasta, and tweaked it to suit our taste. It makes a fabulous side dish for a crowd, or a nice main dish. I've occasionally added cubed ham for a more complete one-dish meal. Servings are calculated on using it as a side dish."
