Steps:
- Put up a large pot of salted water for cooking the pasta and bring it to a boil.
- Add the asparagus and blanch it until just tender, about 3 minutes.
- Scoop the asparagus from the water with a large strainer spoon and place in a colander. Run cold water over it to stop the cooking process, and to preserve the bright green color. Drain well and slice into small pieces on the diagonal, leaving the tips whole.
- Bring the water back to a rapid boil and cook the penne until just al dente (tender but slightly firm to the bite). Run the pasta under cold water and drain very well.
- In a large serving bowl, add the pasta, the blanched asparagus and all the remaining ingredients. Season with salt and pepper and toss well until all the pasta is well coated with dressing. Taste for seasoning. This is best served at room temperature.
- Note: Another lovely addition to this pasta is about 3/4 cup freshly shelled spring peas. Blanch them for 1 minute in the boiling pasta water after you blanch the asparagus. Drain well and add them to the bowl along with the other ingredients.

Steps:
- Measure pasta, cook, drain, cool.
- Combine mayo, onions, seafood sauce, worcestershire sauce.
- Fold into seafood and asparagus.
- This is a zesty salad depending on how you mix the seafood cocktail sauce.
- Making your own seafood sauce with chinese chili-garlic puree will produce a potent dressing that will overpower the asparagus unless test-tasting is done and needed menu adjustments are made with added ketchup and mayo.
- Smokers prefer the chinese chili-garlic-puree while the more sensitive palate of the non-smoker might find the original coctail sauce based recipe is fine-- Several"victims" here have suggested adding horseradish sauce to the coctail sauce YMMV.

SHAVED ASPARAGUS AND RADISH SALAD
An easy salad to put together, this is a celebration of the first asparagus of the season, which is sweet enough to eat raw. Omit the anchovy in the dressing if you wish, but it's there to provide a boost of flavor, not to taste fishy. Any type of radish will work but, for a really vibrant salad, look for the many colorful varieties of daikon radish available at many farmers' markets.
