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.
