When I think of springtime, asparagus comes to mind. This pasta dish is a wonderful blend of tender, crisp, colorful vegetables and a creamy Parmesan cheese sauce. —Darlene Brenden, Salem, Oregon

I love garlic and pepper, so the first time I made this I doubled the garlic and the pepper. I also salted the veggies when I sauteed them. I also added sauteed chicken breast. The second time I made this, I tripled the garlic, used a red pepper in place of the cherry tomatoes and added Italian seasoning. Turned a good recipe into an even better one. Next time will try Kielbasa sausage instead of chicken.

The whole family liked this recipe. I added a little more pasta (2 cups with all those veggies didn't look like enough) and more garlic! It actully took less than the 30 prep time... from start to finish was 20 minutes! Will make again on a weekday.

I added a chicken, doubled the sauce mixture, added a second garlic clove and used shredded parm. My first bite I knew this was a keeper!!!

Served warm or as a pasta salad this is 'Good Eats.' But do use 'White Pepper.'

I doubled the pasta to 12 oz and the garlic (2 cloves). It was very good. I am Italian and thought the recipe needed more garlic.

I made this last night for dinner and everyon told me its a "keeper" recipe and not to lose it. It was good however I was the only one that didnt care for the cooked cherry tomatoes. I did use Rotini spiral noodles; and to cut down cooking and prep time i bought a bag of the Bolthouse Farms Premium Sweet Petites baby carrots. I picked out the smaller ones from the bag and just put in the amount I knew my family would eat. It was a really good meal, i would like to try out some different spices for it as i thought it could use a little something more. But overall definately a keeper, i will make this again! Thanks for sharing!

This is a beautiful and delicious pasta dish! And it's meatless! I've made a few times now because my husband LOVES asparagus and it is so good! If you're not an asparagus fan, you could easily substitute broccoli instead.
