BOW TIE PASTA WITH SAUSAGE AND ASPARAGUS



Bow Tie Pasta With Sausage and Asparagus image

I'm typically not a lover of asparagus mixed with pasta but in this dish, IT ROCKS! My family appreciates a drier pasta so if yours likes things a bit saucier you may want to double the EVOO/butter to get it to your consistency. I usually love broccoli mixed in a pasta like this but the asparagus is by far the better choice!
