TORTELLINI WITH ASPARAGUS & LEMON
This is a terrific warm-weather dish, loaded with fresh flavors. I make mine meatless, but some sliced grilled chicken on top would be awesome, too. -Crystal Schlueter, Northglenn, Colorado

Steps:
- Step 1: Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil over high heat. Fill a large bowl halfway with ice and water. Line a baking sheet with paper towels or lay a clean kitchen towel on the counter.
- Step 2: Trim 1 inch from the ends of the asparagus stalks. If some of the stalks are much thicker than a pencil, use a vegetable peeler to remove the woody exterior from the bottom half of each one. Cut the stalks and spears into 1-inch lengths.
- Step 3: Add the asparagus to the boiling water; cook until crisp-tender and a more vivid shade of green, about 2 minutes; do not drain the water. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the asparagus to the ice-water bath until cooled. Spread the asparagus on the baking sheet or kitchen towel to dry.
- Step 4: Return the pot of water to a boil. Add the tortellini and cook, stirring often, until tender, according to the package directions. Drain the tortellini, rinse it with cold water, and drain again, leaving it slightly wet.
- Step 5: While the tortellini are cooking, toast the pine nuts in a small, dry skillet over medium-low heat for several minutes, shaking the pan to avoid scorching, until fragrant and lightly browned. Cool completely.
- Step 6: Whisk together the oil, lemon juice, shallot, garlic and the 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper in a serving bowl. Add the cooked tortellini and tomatoes, tossing to incorporate, and let sit for 15 minutes.
- Step 7: Chop the basil leaves and add them to the+ bowl, along with the asparagus, Parm and the toasted pine nuts. Taste, add more salt and pepper as needed, and serve.

TORTELLINI WITH ASPARAGUS AND TOMATOES
I whipped this together after reading a similar recipe calling for spinach instead of asparagus. My bf really enjoyed this. I hope you do too! P.S. I am going to be honest and tell you I don't measure anything, so these are really approximations of the ingredients I used. PLEASE adjust to what you feel would better suite your taste.

CAESAR SALAD WITH TORTELLINI AND ASPARAGUS
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.
