Pasta with Asparagus + Tilapia

Hi kids,

This week:

Onion and asparagus

Pasta with Asparagus from SkinnyTaste
1 bunch of asparagus, cut into 1 inch pieces
1/3 of a box of spaghetti, cooked
1 tbsp of sesame seed oil
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 sweet onion, chopped
2 egg yolks
1/3 of freshly grated parmesan cheese
salt and pepper

Get four cups of water boiling in a pot and pop the asparagus in for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, reserve 1/4 cup of water, drain and put asparagus aside. Add in more water, and let spaghetti cook. In a bowl, combine egg yolks, asparagus water and grated cheese - don't scramble the egg. In another pan on medium heat, add in sesame seed oil, garlic and onion. Saute for about 10-15 minutes. Add in asparagus, cook for another 5-10 minutes. Drain spaghetti, add back into pot, add in sauteed veggies and egg yolk mixture. Cook for another 5 minutes until liquid thickens.

The results: Delicious. I definitely didn't make it right the first time - I didn't bother to add the egg yolk sauce to the mix over heat, so it ended up being a bit watery, but still tasty. The next night, I brought over the recipe to a friend's house and made it for them. I substituted shallots the second time around, and it was okay. The sweet onion I found added a new dimension to the dish. I'll definitely have to experiment and perfect this recipe.

Because puppies make everything cuter and awesomer.
