Asparagus, cherry tomatoes, and carrots are tossed in a delicious and rich cream sauce.
Ingredients
- 2 cups penne pasta
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
- 3 carrots, cut into strips
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 clove garlic, minced, or more to taste
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat-high heat; saute asparagus and carrots until tender yet firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and garlic; saute until garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 3
Stir Parmesan cheese, cream, and black pepper into vegetable mixture until cheese melts and sauce is smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Add pasta to sauce and toss to coat.
Recipe Tip
This is a great base recipe. Try using green beans instead of asparagus or canned sun-dried tomatoes instead of cherry tomatoes, or add some fresh pesto to the cream sauce to mix up the flavor.
