To get started with this recipe, we must first prepare a few components. You can have lentil penne with asparagus using 6 ingredients and 5 steps. Here is how you cook it.
The ingredients needed to make Lentil Penne with Asparagus:
- Get asparagus stalks
- Prepare punnet of quartered cherry tomatoes
- Get chopped pitted black olives
- Get red lentil pasta
- Take finely chopped garlic cloves
- Take pesto
In a medium-size bowl, beat eggs enough to blend them. Very slowly stir about half the egg mixture into the pasta and asparagus, mixing everything constantly. Don't worry if some of the egg scrambles a bit. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the penne until al dente.
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.

Drain the pasta well and return it to the pot. Pasta tossed with sweet tomatoes, asparagus and an amazing balsamic sauce. Perfect for a fast weeknight dinner! A craving for much simpler, delicious meals is also back and I am happy about that. Season with pepper and serve right away.
