Pasta with Asparagus

This is a great low-fat asparagus and pasta dish. I serve it to company all the time. Serve with a fruit salad and French bread.

You will need:

• 1 ½ pounds fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1 inch pieces
• ¼ cup chicken broth
• ½ pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
• 8 ounces angel hair pasta
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions:

Cook pasta according to package instructions.

Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet. Saute asparagus in the pan over medium heat for about 3 minutes. Add chicken broth and mushroom slices; cook 3 minutes more.

Drain pasta, and transfer to a serving dish. Gently toss pasta with asparagus mixture; sprinkle with Parmesan and crushed red pepper.
