Hi everyone!  Today I am excited to share one of my family's favorite weeknight dinners.  It is super fast and let's be honest most weeknights we need FAST!

Ingredients
 1   cup asparagus chopped
 1   pound pasta 
 1/4   cup extra-virgin olive oil 
 4    cloves garlic, minced 
 1/2   cup left over pasta cooking water 
 1/2   teaspoon red pepper flakes 
 1 1/4   teaspoons salt 
1/2 cup parmesan cheese

Directions
1.Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking water and drain.
2.Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and asparagus and heat through, stirring so it doesn't burn.
3.Add the pasta water, red pepper, salt, and bring to a boil. Toss with the cooked pasta.

Serve with a salad and some yummy bread and you have a wonderful and easy weeknight dinner
