How to Make Asparagus Peppers Pasta Toss

  1. Cook 1 pound of pasta according to package directions. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. While pasta cooks, prepare the vegetables: Trim 1 pound asparagus and cut into 1-inch pieces. Chop 1 red bell pepper and 1/2 green bell pepper into bite-sized pieces. Finely chop 1/2 small onion.
  3. Add asparagus, bell peppers, and onion to the pasta during the last 5 minutes of cooking time.
  4. Drain pasta and vegetables well, reserving pasta water.
  5. Return pasta mixture to the pot. Stir in 1 1/2 cups of your favorite pasta sauce (marinara, pesto, alfredo, etc.).
  6. Add reserved pasta water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy!
