How to Make Asparagus Splendida
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss asparagus with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until tender-crisp.
- While asparagus roasts, cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
- Heat remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using) and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Add cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat with garlic oil.
- Stir in roasted asparagus, Parmesan cheese, and parsley. Add a little pasta water if needed to create a creamy sauce.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately and enjoy your Asparagus Splendida!
