Ingredients
  

  • 2 T olive oil
  • 1/2 lb asparagus cut in 1 inch pieces
  • 4 tomatoes Roma is good for pasta
  • 16 shrimp large
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 8 oz Farfalle pasta also known as bow tie
  • 1/2 c heavy cream
  • 1/4 c parmesan cheese

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and asparagus and sauté for about 2 minutes, until the asparagus begins to soften.
  2. Add the tomatoes and shrimp. Cook for about 4 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
  3. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the bowtie pasta and cook for about 5 minutes, until partially cooked (about halfway done). Drain, reserving 1 cup of the pasta water.
  4. Add the heavy cream to the skillet with the vegetables and shrimp. Stir to combine, then gently simmer.
  5. Add the partially cooked pasta to the skillet along with enough reserved pasta water to cover the pasta (you may not need the full cup). Simmer gently until the pasta is al dente and the sauce has slightly thickened.
  6. Stir in the Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
