<h2 style="text-align: left;">Spring forward in this gourmet kitchen with a delicious spring recipe!</h2>
<p>Asparagus is a great spring time vegetable!</p>
<p>Buying Tip: The slender, earliest stalks are the most tender.</p>
<p>Preparation Tip: Begin preparing the asparagus by simply trimming off the bottom ends of the stalks, about 1  inch.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignright" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://i1160.photobucket.com/albums/q487/StandardPacificCAR/EI1206_Penne-with-Asparagus-and-Cherry-Tomatoes_lg.jpg" alt="Penne with Asparagus" width="300" height="200" border="0" />Colorful Spring Penne with Cherry Tomatoes and Asparagus</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>Ingredients:</em></p>
<p>8 ounces penne pasta</p>
<p>3 tablespoons olive oil</p>
<p>2 garlic cloves, minced</p>
<p>1 1/2 pounds thin asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces</p>
<p>Salt and freshly ground black pepper</p>
<p>2 cups cherry tomatoes</p>
<p>1 cup fresh or frozen sweet peas</p>
<p>1/2 cup chicken stock</p>
<p>1 cup grated Parmesan cheese</p>
<p>2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves</p>
<p><em>Directions:</em></p>
<p>Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the pasta, reserving about 1/2 cup of the pasta water.</p>
<p>In a large saute pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic, cook about 1 minute. Add the asparagus, season with the salt and pepper, and cook for 3 minutes until slightly soft. Add the cherry tomatoes and peas. Cook for 2 minutes. Pour the chicken stock into the pan and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook until the tomatoes start to burst and the stock is reduced by half, about 3 minutes.</p>
<p>Transfer the asparagus mixture to a large serving bowl. Add the cooked pasta and 1/2 of the Parmesan. Toss well, adding reserved pasta water, if needed, to loosen the pasta. Garnish with the remaining Parmesan and chopped basil.</p>
