fettuccine with cherry tomatoes and asparagus
(1 rating)
The pasta sauce for this dish is done in under the broiler. It is quick and easy. Lots of flavor, but low in fat. Serve with a salad and some crusty bread. I saw the original recipe in "New Vegetarin Cooking".

How To Make fettuccine with cherry tomatoes and asparagus

4Then place tomatoes and asparagus under the broiler. Watch them closely. You want the tomatoes broiled just until they just start to collapse. They will be done before the pasta, turn off the broiler and leave in the oven to keep warm. Take out just before pasta is done.

5Drain pasta and return to pan and drizzle with a little more extra virgin olive oil. Add tomatoes and asparagus. Mix gently. Check salt and pepper and serve. Sprinkle with some parmesan, if desired.
