Creamy Pasta with Asparagus and Peas

• 12 ounces farfalle, tricolor rotini, or gemelli
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 to 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 10 to 12 ounces slender asparagus
• 1 cup frozen green peas
• 1 medium yellow summer squash, quartered lengthwise and thinly sliced
• 1/3 cup oil-packed sliced sun-dried tomatoes
• 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
• 1/2 cup Silk creamer
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice, or more to taste
• Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

1. Cook the pasta in plenty of rapidly simmering water until al dente, then drain.
2. Meanwhile, trim 1/2 inch from the bottoms of the asparagus spears.
3. Peel the bottom halves only if the stalks are thick; if tender and slim, this wont be necessary.
4. Cut the spears into approximately 1 1/2-inch lengths.
5. Heat the oil in a wide skillet.
6. Add the garlic and saute over low heat until golden.
7. Add 1/4 cup water along with the asparagus, peas, and squash.
8. Cover and cook for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are just tender-crisp.
9. Add the sun-dried tomatoes, parsley, and creamer.
10. Cook, uncovered, over medium heat until the liquid in the skillet is reduced, about 5 minutes longer.
11. Combine the pasta and vegetables in a large serving bowl.
12. Toss gently but thoroughly.
13. Season with lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
14. Toss again, and serve at once.
15. A bean-based salad teams well with this delicate dish.
16. Try Black Beans with Tomatoes, Olives, Yellow Peppers, and Croutons (page 185) or Chickpea and Carrot Salad with Parsley and Olives (page 190).
17. Otherwise, any bountiful green salad with the addition of chickpeas, black beans, or pink beans will work well.
18. For a hearty pairing with a warm bean dish, see the menu for Dilled Red Beans with Pickled Beets (page 106).
