ANGEL HAIR PASTA WITH PEPPERS AND TOMATOES
This simple pasta celebrates the end-of-summer harvest and is perfect for a light lunch or supper, or as part of a buffet. Bell peppers and other sweet peppers - like Corno di Toro and many other varieties of peppers of every hue - ripen in late summer, the same time as long-awaited flavorful (and multicolored) tomatoes, making their pairing seem almost preordained.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh asparagus, flavorful pasta, and a creamy sauce will make all the difference in this dish.
- Cook the asparagus properly: Asparagus should be cooked until it is tender-crisp, but not mushy. If you overcook it, it will lose its vibrant green color and become limp.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the asparagus, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the asparagus from cooking evenly.
- Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really brings this dish together. Be sure to use a sauce that is flavorful and creamy, such as a lemon-butter sauce or a pesto cream sauce.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become mushy if it sits for too long.
Conclusion:
Angel hair pasta with asparagus is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and light meal. With its vibrant green asparagus, creamy sauce, and flavorful pasta, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
