Angel Hair Pasta With Asparagus In Mushroom Wine Sauce Recipe

ingredients

1 1/4 cup vegetable broth
3/4 pound fresh asparagus, cut in 1" lengths
4 scallions, sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 large ripe tomato, diced
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 cup dry white wine
6 pitted black olives, sliced
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
6 quarts water
12 ounces angel hair pasta
1/4 cup nonfat Parmesan cheese, grated

directions

Heat 1/4 cup broth in a large skillet. Add asparagus, scallions, and garlic. Saute for 2 minutes.

Add mushrooms; saute for 2 additional minutes. Add tomato, basil, and oregano and saute for 2 more minutes.

Stir in wine, remaining broth, olives, and black pepper. Simmer for 4 minutes.

Bring water to a rapid boil in a large, covered pot. Add pasta by holding it in a bundle at one end and slowly bending it inside the pot as the pasta softens.

Keep water boiling; stir pasta with a long-handled fork to prevent it from sticking together. Follow cooking time recommendation on package.

Pasta should be cooked through but still firm. Check for doneness by biting into a piece of pasta rinsed in cold water. Drain cooked pasta into a colander in the sink.

Serve sauce over pasta, topped with Parmesan.
