Ingredients

1 lb campanelli

3/4 c balsamic vinegar

5 tbs EVOO

1 lb asparagus, tough ends snapped off, spears halved length-wise if larger than than 1/2 inch in diameter and diagonally cut into 1 inch lengths

1 medium to large red onion, halved and sliced thin

1/2 tsp ground black pepper

1/4 tsp red pepper flake

1 cup chopped fresh basil leaves

1 tbs juice from one lemon

2 oz Pecorino romano cheese, shaved with a vegetable peeler

Directions

Boil pasta to al dente.

Drain and return to the pot.

Meanwhile bring balsamic vinegar to a boil in an 8 inch skillet over a med to high flame;reduce the heat to medium and simmer slowly until syrupy and reduced to a 1/4 cup, 15-20 minutes.

While the vinegar is reducing, heat 2 tbs of the oil in a 12 inch nonstick skillet over high heat until it begins to smoke. Add the asparagus, onion. black pepper, red pepper flake and 1/2 tsp salt and stir to combine.

Cook, without stirring, until the asparagus begins to brown, about 1 minute, then stir and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the asparagus is tender-crisp, about 4 minutes longer.

Add the asparagus mixture, basil, lemon juice, 1/2 cup of the cheese, and remaining 3 tbs of oil to the pasta and stir to combine.

Serve immediately, drizzling 1 to 2 teaspoons of the balsamic glaze over each serving and passing the cheese separately.

Any way to use the over abundance of asparagus! This
sounds perfect. Thanks, Mare PS If you have a few feet of earth, asparagus only take couple years to
flourish, believe me-plant it
