"I'm typically not a lover of asparagus mixed with pasta but in this dish, IT ROCKS! My family appreciates a drier pasta so if yours likes things a bit saucier you may want to double the EVOO/butter to get it to your consistency. I usually love broccoli mixed in a pasta like this but the asparagus is by far the better choice!"

I have made this twice. Love it! We don't care for bell pepper, so leave that out. A great Summer recipe.

Made this for dinner tonight, it was fabulous! Wish I had used more asparagus though. Thanks for the recipe, will definitely be making this again!

What a delicious pasta dish!! I was looking for something to make using the asparagus I had, and I stumbled upon this. I only had sweet Italian sausage and no bell pepper, but it still came out really well!! I will definitely make again, using the bell pepper.

I love to try new recipes and often try so many new recipes that I forget about all the great ones I've already made. My focus in cooking is to cook healthy and lower in fat without compromising the taste of the food.
