Ingredients

  • 1 bunch asparagus
  • 8 oz. fresh sliced mushrooms
  • olive oil
  • salt & pepper
  • 3 cups rotini pasta I used Dreamfield's brand
  • 1/2 cup pesto store bought or homemade
  • 1 large tomato diced
  • parmesan for serving

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425ยบ F.
  • Cut off ends of asparagus and then cut stalks into one inch pieces. Place on a cookie sheet. Add mushrooms to cookie sheet then drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat veggies and place in oven. Cook for 12-15 mins, or until tender yet slightly crisp.
  • Meanwhile, get a large pot of boiling water going and cook rotini to package directions. When finished cooking, drain.
  • In a large bowl, combine pasta, roasted asparagus, mushrooms, pesto and diced tomato. Stir to cover everything in pesto. If needed, add a little more pesto to your liking.
  • Serve with some freshly grated parmesan cheese and enjoy!
