Directions
Asparagus Penne, Penne and delicious asparagus, highlighted with cherry (or grape) tomatoes Plunk em’ in, and just devour!, Recipe is named penne , but the illustration shows rotini Different shape and different texture when you cook , Mmmm, Andi what a yummy, easy and quick to make recipe! It has all the goodness of spring packed into one bowl The sweet bursting tomatoes combined with the nutty asparagus, roasted garlic, creamy cheese and aromatic basil make for a wonderful satisfying dish It is so beautiful to look at, too used whole spelt pasta and gouda cheese instead of the parmesan, but other than that stuck to your recipe and it was perfect THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this wonderful recipe with us, hon! I will surely make it again! Made and reviewed for The Ingredient of The Month Tag Game in the Spanish Forum and Farm Cooking with YOU in the Photo Forum May 2010
