1/2 lb. (8 oz.) fresh aspagarus, ends trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
1/2 cup dry white wine (or you can double this if you'd like) I added apple juice
1/2 cup grated or flaked Parmesan cheese
Added left over buy choy, 1/2 a whole tomato
Instructions
1. Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted water al dente according
to package instructions.
2. Meanwhile, add bacon to a medium saute pan. Cook over
medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until crispy. Remove the
bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add asparagus to the
pan and saute in the bacon grease for about 5-6 minutes, stirring
occasionally, until cooked. Remove asparagus with a slotted
spoon, and set aside with the bacon.
3. Slowly add the white wine to the pan, and scape the bottom of
the pan with a spoon to deglaze the pan and pick up all of those
yummy brown bits. Continue cooking for 5 minutes, or until the
wine has reduced by about half.
4. When the pasta is cooked, drain it. Then add the pasta,
asparagus, bacon and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese to the saute pan,
and toss until combined. Sprinkle pasta with the remaining
Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
If the pasta seems too dry, add in 1/4 cup of the pasta water after
adding in the asparagus and bacon and toss to combine.
