Fresh snap peas and asparagus lighten up a pasta dinner (and add plenty of vitamins). Choosing whole-grain pasta over regular helps triple the cholesterol-lowering fiber.
Ingredients
1 package whole-grain rotini or fusilli pasta
8 oz. asparagus
1 bag stringless snap peas
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 small onion
1 lemon
1/2 c. freshly grated Pecorino Romano cheese
1/4 c. fresh basil leaves
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. coarsely ground black pepper
Instructions
Heat large covered saucepot of salted water on high to boiling. Add pasta and cook as label directs, adding asparagus and snap peas when 3 minutes of cooking time remain.
Meanwhile, in 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil on medium until hot. Add onion and cook 10 to 12 minutes or until tender and browned. From lemon, grate 1 teaspoon peel and squeeze 2 tablespoons juice.
Reserve 1/2 cup pasta cooking water; drain pasta and vegetables. In large serving bowl, toss pasta and vegetables with cooking water, onion, lemon peel and juice, Romano, basil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper.
