AAA Pasta

I don't usually give my food cutsey names, but this one was just asking for it. It's a pasta dish based on asparagus, artichoke hearts, and asiago cheese. It's not all that pretty:



But DAMN is it delicious, and it's super easy, which is important, because I'm lazy.

You need:
1 box pasta, cooked
1 can cut asparagus, drained
1 can artichoke hearts, drained & chopped
4-5 oz. asiago cheese, grated (oh, just get the pre-grated kind, it doesn't cost that much more)
mayo (Hellman's, not that sweet stuff, and low fat is good)
garlic (the minced kind that comes in a jar)
cayenne pepper
salt

Instructions: mix them up.

Seriously. I'm lazy, so I like recipes where you just mix a bunch of stuff in a bowl. Put the veggies and cheese in with the pasta, add enough mayo so it's kind of like a light sauce, and put in garlic, cayenne and salt to taste.

YUM!

This is such a super combination of flavors. Mellow, spicy, a little tang from the arrtichokes. If you can't find asiago, you could use parmesan or Swiss.

Hardest part: There is no hard part. Unless you count chopping the artichoke hearts without eating all of them straight from the can.
