Recipe: Pasta With Asparagus, Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Goat Cheese [edit]

Step 1

This delectable combination of tender asparagus and pasta in a light, garlicky sun-dried tomato sauce heralds the beginning of the spring season.

Step 2

Bring large pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, in large skillet, heat oil over medium-low heat. Add green garlic and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic, thyme, wine and sun-dried tomatoes.

Step 3

Cook 1 minute, then remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

When water boils, add pasta, stirring to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions. About 2 minutes before pasta is done, add asparagus and cook just until tender.

Step 5

Drain pasta and asparagus and transfer to shallow serving bowl. Reheat sauce and add to pasta, tossing to coat. Season with salt and pepper and dot with goat cheese; stir slightly. Serve right away.
