Pasta Primavera

Growing up my parents loved to go out for dinner, and Italian was one of our favorites. When I was first married and at home with Cori when she was little I wanted to learn how to cook some of the delicious food I had eaten out. I didn't have a clue how to cook anything Italian until I found the Sunset Magazine Italian cookbook. This was the first thing I learned from it and am still making it 30 years later.

Ingredients

  • ½ pound asparagus

  • ½ pound sliced mushrooms

  • ½ cup slivered or torn prosciutto

  • 1 Tablespoon avocado oil

  • 1 medium carrot thinly sliced

  • Cut asparagus in 1 inch pieces, leaving the tips.

  • In a large wide frying pan over high heat add avocado oil mushroom and prosciutto. Sauté for 1 min then add carrots, cover and turn off heat.

  • Meanwhile, cook noodles in a large kettle of salted boiling water. If you are using dry noodles start them before you start to cook the vegetables. Drain the noodles and keep warm.
