"Garlicky, buttery ground beef and asparagus with whole wheat noodles. A green salad goes well with this dish. I always use fresh asparagus, so I don't know if this works with frozen or canned. Regular noodles can replace the whole wheat ones, and you can substitute other fresh veggies for asparagus (like green beans or snow peas)."
