Beautiful Boomer Pasta

 What's Boomer about this recipe? Yes, the meat. But the meat is just an accent, not the whole shebang.

You will need:

Olive oil

Garlic

Red onions

Lemon 

Any good Fusilli or bow-tie pasta

Fresh asparagus

Bacon-wrapped goat cheese (I got mine at Rewe)

Parmesan

Pepper

 (1) Pour about a tablespoon of olive oil into a frying pan and put the frying pan on low heat. Chop a red onion or two and some garlic. Put in pan; turn heat up slightly, stirring. The onions should become transparent and the garlic should slightly brown. Put these sautéed onions and garlic into a Pyrex baking dish. Put the washed, trimmed asparagus on top. In a bowl, mix the juice of half a lemon with olive oil. Brush this mixture on top of the asparagus. Add a little salt if you wish. Put in pre-heated oven at about 170º Celsius (around 340º Fahrenheit).

(2) Slide the goat cheese/bacon into a separate backing dish--put in oven ten-to-fifteen minutes before you want to add them to the pasta.

(3) Put the pasta in boiling water--it will take between ten and twelve minutes to be done. Drain, rinse. Place the goat-cheese-bacon on top; add the asparagus-onion-garlic mix; sprinkle on Parmesan and ground pepper. Enjoy! A glass of red wine goes well with this--or white.

  2. You can make your own! Just a small slice of goat cheese and a piece of bacon. Wrap. Tap on some herbs. Bake.
