RIGATONI AL FORNO (BAKED RIGATONI) WITH ROASTED ASPARAGUS AND ON
One of my favorite make-after-work dishes. Half an hour and it's done. This dish is not saucy and it's not loaded with cheese. It is, however, healthy and relies on the roasted vegetables and balsamic vinegar for it's flavor. Simple and delicious one-dish meal.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make all the difference in the final dish. Look for thick, firm asparagus spears, and use a good quality bacon that is not too salty.
- Don't overcook the asparagus: 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.
- Use a large pan: You'll need a large pan to accommodate all of the ingredients. If you use a pan that is too small, the ingredients will be crowded and won't cook evenly.
- Season the dish to taste: Be sure to taste the dish before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder to taste.
Conclusion:
Rigatoni with bacon and asparagus is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a meal that is sure to impress your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give this recipe a try!
