Linguine and Asparagus

Sometimes I don't feel like cooking dinner.  Shocking, I know.

Sometimes I don't feel like eating junk food for dinner again. That's when a dish like this comes in handy!

This dish is light and delicious.  Don't let the eggs scare you off... they blend in with everything else to create a wonderful taste.  It's so easy and fresh, you'll wonder why you ever thought eating out was a good idea.

Here's what you need: (serves 4)

• 3/4 lb. Linguine
• 1/2 lb. Asparagus (cut off the woody end and slice in half lengthwise)
• 4 large eggs
• 3 TBS butter
• 1/4 c shredded Parmesan cheese

Here's what you do:

• Add linguine to a salted pot of boiling water.  Cook as directed, but add asparagus in the last minute.
• While linguine is cooking.  Poach eggs in 2 inches of gently boiling water for about 4 min.
• When pasta is done, drain (save 1 cup of water) and place back in pot.  Add butter, Parmesan, and water.  Stir until a light sauce forms around the noodles.
• Divide pasta and asparagus into 4 plates, and place poached egg on top.
• Season will a little salt and pepper, and serve!
