Pasta & Asparagus

1 lb of pasta – fettuccine or linguine

2 lb. Very thin asparagus spears

2-3 garlic cloves smashed

Directions:

• Wash asparagus and snap off long bottom stems
• Cut remaining spears in half
• In a large skillet, heat olive oil – about 1 tablespoon and 3-4 tablespoons of butter
• When the butter is melted, add the asparagus and the garlic and saute
• Turn temperature down to medium heat and continue to cook until the asparagus is soft but not mushy
• Boil salted water for pasta in a Dutch oven-type pot
• When it is al dente- drain the pasta and reserve about ½ cup of the pasta water
• Return the pasta and the water to the pot in which it was cooked and add the contents of the skillet
• Blend well for about 2 minutes
• Place in a large bowl and add grated asiago cheese to taste
