Here's an easy weeknight meal that you can make for one, two, or a family. It's also a little lighter dish, after that turkey lasagna :) I always love pasta dishes during the week because they are quick, healthy, and tasty...Enjoy!
What You Need:
- 8 ounces cavatappi pasta
- 1 pound asparagus, trimmed and cut diagonally into pieces
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 4 tablespoons pine nuts
- 2 ounces diced pancetta
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup (1 ounce) crumbled Parmesan cheese
Prep
1. Preheat oven to 400°.2. Cook pasta according to package directions; add asparagus to pan during last 3 minutes of cooking. Drain. Sprinkle pasta mixture with minced garlic; return to pan, and toss well.
3. Arrange pine nuts in a single layer on a jelly-roll pan. Bake at 400° for 3 minutes or until golden and fragrant, stirring occasionally. Place in a small bowl. Be careful - they burn quickly!
4. Increase oven temperature to 475°.
5. Arrange pancetta on jelly-roll pan. Bake at 475° for 6 minutes or until crisp.
6. Combine lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper, stirring with a whisk. Spoon over pasta mixture; toss well to coat. Sprinkle with pine nuts, pancetta, and cheese.
Serve with garlic bread!
