I had some asparagus in the fridge so I decided to use all of these asparagus and made pasta with it. In addition to asparagus, I also added mushrooms, arugula and grape tomatoes. You can eat lots of vegetable with this pasta.
I just sauteed vegetables and combined with cooked spaghetti but here is the recipe.
Asparagus & Mushroom Pasta (for about 3 people)

Mushroom 1 pack (sliced them)
Arugula a handful
grape tomatoes about 5 (cut into half)
Canadian bacon or ham or regular bacon 4 slices (cut into small pieces)
Garlic 2 clove
Spaghetti 300g
Olive Oil 2 table spoon

Parmesan Cheese as much as you like
Salt & Pepper as much as you like
1. heat up a pan with olive oil and sauté chopped garlic until fragrant
2. Add asparagus, mushroom and canadian bacon and saute.
3. Meanwhile, cook spaghetti in a pot until your desired firmness.
4. When asparagus and mushroom get soft, add tomatoes and saute more.
5. When tomatoes start to break down, add arugula and saute until they are soft.
6. Add cooked spaghetti and one ladle full of pasta water and mix well with the vegetables. When everything is mixed well, add heavy cream, butter and salt/pepper.
7. Serve them in a plate with sprinkled parmesan cheese on top.
I also made garlic bread with some baguette. This is easy and always come out great.
