"I was thumbing thru an old Summertime Southern Living magazine and found this recipe..I made it for dinner and we loved it...putting it here for safe keeping. Quick Tip: Start with hot water for faster boiling and cook fresh pasta and asparagus together in the same pot. This does not work for all pasta dishes, but works well here since cooking times are the same."
