Asparagus Alfredo Penne

Ah, asparagus! The high-fashion model of the veggie aisle – tall, slender, and adds a touch of elegance to this easy to make alfredo penne. The easiest way to trim off the woody end of asparagus is to simply snap it off by hand. When you gently bend the asparagus spear near the bottom end it will naturally snap where the woody part ends and the tender part begins.
