SERVES: 4
PREP TIME: 5 Minutes
COOK TIME: 25 Minutes

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
3 cups uncooked bow tie pasta
1 pound fresh asparagus, cut into 1-inch pieces
3 tbsp. olive oil
1/4 cup minced shallots (about 2 large)
2 or 3 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

	Step 1: Cook pasta in boiling water for 10 minutes. Add asparagus; continue cooking 3 to 4 minutes or until pasta and asparagus are tender. Drain well.

	Step 2: Brown ground beef in large nonstick skillet over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes or until beef is not pink, breaking up into 3/4-inch crumbles while pasta is cooking. Remove from skillet with slotted spoon; pour off drippings.

	Step 3: Heat oil in same skillet over medium heat until hot. Add shallots and garlic; cook 3 to 4 minutes or until tender, stirring frequently. Remove from heat. Add beef; toss to mix. Season with salt and pepper, as desired.
