The ingredients needed to make Lentil Penne with Asparagus:
- Prepare asparagus stalks
- Prepare punnet of quartered cherry tomatoes
- Make ready chopped pitted black olives
- Make ready red lentil pasta
- Take finely chopped garlic cloves
- Make ready pesto

Instructions to make Lentil Penne with Asparagus:
- Heat some butter or oil in a pan on a medium heat, chop up your asparagus into inch long sections and add
- In the meantime, add the pasta (with a healthy pinch of salt) to a pan of boiling water
- When the asparagus changes colour to a rich green, add the garlic, tomatoes and olives
- The tomatoes will begin to soften, when they do, remove the pan from the heat. Add the pasta when it's to your liking, mix in the pesto and you're ready to serve
- There are lots of options with pesto, the preserved store bought stuff is generally not good quality and usually high in salt. There are some fresh store bought options that are better but making your own is always the tastiest and most versatile option.
