Ready In
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat-high heat; saute asparagus and carrots until tender yet firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and garlic; saute until garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Stir Parmesan cheese, cream, and black pepper into vegetable mixture until cheese melts and sauce is smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Add pasta to sauce and toss to coat.
Footnotes
- Cook's Note:
- This is a great base recipe. Try using green beans instead of asparagus, canned sun-dried tomatoes instead of cherry tomatoes, or add some fresh pesto to the cream sauce to mix up the flavor.

I make a variant of this recipe using bow tie pasta and I add spinach and frozen peas. I also roast the asparagus in the oven at 450 for 10-15 min. Delicious!

I made this with a couple minor changes. I used cheese tortellini as the pasta component and I also added a chopped shallot to the vegetables. it was delicious!
