 Asparagus and Green Peppers 2 bunches of medium green asparagus 2 firm green peppers 1 vidalia onion 4oz. extra virgin olive oil (The entire bottom of the pan should be covered with the olive oil) Sea salt 1 can of peeled whole tomatoes or 6-7 peeled tomatoes 3 shitake mushrooms (optional) 6 leaves of basil 1 lb. of fusilli pasta Locatelli grated cheese (optional)
All your vegetables including the canned tomatoes and pasta should be organic. Conventional will be fine. But always try to buy organic.
Preparation
Wash your vegetables thoroughly. Cut off the ends of the asparagus, no more than one-inch and discard. Cut into 2” pieces. Set aside.
Remove the stem from the pepper. Cut into two halves. Remove the seeds. Slice the pepper into ¼” lengths.
The shitake mushrooms are optional. Slice the mushrooms into ¼” lengths.
For fresh tomatoes (about 6-7 medium size tomatoes) hand peel them with a serrated edge knife. For canned tomatoes drain the water and set aside.
Add a tablespoon of sea salt to two quarts of water and bring to a boil. Add the fusilli pasta to the boiling water. Cook your pasta Al Dente. This is a must whenever cooking pasta. Al Dente pasta cooks in about 8 minutes. Keep tasting to be sure and when ready strain the noodles but save about 1-2 ladles of the boiled water to create more liquid.
In a five quart pan, add ½ tablespoon of salt and heat in olive oil.. Use medium to high heat. Just as the oil forms ripples and is about to slightly smoke add the sliced vidalia onion.
Stir the onion around until wilted and golden. In about three minutes add the peppers and stir until slightly wilted skin appears on the peppers. Add the asparagus, stir and cover for two minutes. After two minutes add the tomatoes and basil. Cook vegetables covered for approximately five minutes. Then set aside. The key when cooking any vegetable is to keep them firm. They will taste better and retain their nutrients.
After five minutes, pour ½ of the boiled pasta into the pan with the vegetables and tomatoes. Stir and cover for 1-2 minutes. Add the remaining pasta. Stir well.
Sprinkle on some of the Italian Locatelli grated cheese..
Bon Appetite!
