A great alternative to plain pasta. It’s easy to make and also healthy.
For an even more filling meal, add some grilled or roasted chicken!

Ingredients:
- 2 cups uncooked whole wheat pasta
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 cups (about 10-12 stalks) asparagus cut into bite-sized pieces, woody ends discarded.

- 1 tablespoon white wine
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese.
- Pinch of basil and parsley to taste.
Directions:
- Cook pasta according to package directions.
- While the pasta is cooking, heat a large pan over medium-low heat. Add butter and garlic. Cook until garlic starts to brown, about 3 minutes
- Add asparagus and wine to the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes. Adjust cooking time depending on your doneness preference.
- Keep warm on lowest heat if pasta is still cooking.
