Here's another one from Super Natural Cooking - Fettuccine with Asparagus Puree. I've been trying to get rid of certain things in my freezer and I quickly got sick of eating microwaved frozen asparagus as a side to things. When I saw this recipe, I thought it would be perfect to try. I'm a fan of vegetable "pesto" on pasta - lots of nutrients without having to spear each piece. You basically just puree asparagus, spinach, and common pesto ingredients - lemon, grated cheese, garlic - and use it as a sauce for pasta. The recipe called for pine nuts, but since I don't have any and they are $$$ right now, I opted for blanched slivered almonds, which worked just fine. You could feed this (and the Winter Pasta) to kids and call it Monster Pasta or something. It's neon green, so what better way to coerce children into eating veggies? (It might work for adults, too.)
