Pasta With Asparagus, Sun-Dried Tomatoes, And Goat Cheese Recipe

ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup thinly sliced green garlic or leeks
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1/2 cup fruity white wine
1/2 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained and coarsely chopped
12 ounces dried corkscrew or penne pasta
1/2 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4 ounces soft goat cheese

directions

Bring large pot of salted water to a boil.

Meanwhile in large skillet, heat oil and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic, thyme, wine and sun-dried tomatoes. Cook 1 minute, then remove from heat and set aside.

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.

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.
