  • ½ cup olive oil

  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed

  • 1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed and chopped

  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can pureed tomatoes

  • salt and pepper to taste

  • 1 (16 ounce) package uncooked penne pasta

  1. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and saute the garlic until lightly browned. Place mushrooms in the skillet, and cook 5 minutes.
