Have you ever heard of perciatelli pasta before? I sure hadn't! This past weekend, our friends made us pasta that was hallowed out in the middle...it was superb! The pasta absorbs the flavor better than your standard spaghetti...I'm officially obsessed!
We prepped the pasta with our standard olive oil, garlic, and butter. What made it much more special was the addition of Romano Pecorino, basil and asparagus! It had a great peppery bite and yet the basil added a sweet finish!
Ingredients:
- 8 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 TB butter
- 2 TB olive oil
- 1 pound pasta
- Romano Pecorino cheese, to taste
- 12 large basil leaves
- Bundle of Asparagus
This dish makes a flavorful meal that's great for mid-week or date night. I imagine a glass of chardonnay would pair wonderfully!
Hope you enjoy! Bon Appetit!

I make a pasta with goat cheese and asparagus that's so tasty. Asparagus and pasta work so well together - I can't wait to try this version.
That looks so yummy and as soon as I get back from the beach I will be making that! We're off carbs right now so that just makes it look even that much better.

I really enjoy simple pastas, I love to eat asparagus but I often eat them grilled and with a steak it would be nice tho try them in a pasta
What could be better than pasta with cheese and asparagus! Great mouthwatering pics..I will definitely be trying this one. Thx Natasha!
This sounds delicious! I know I've said this before....you need to write a cookbook! You have wonderful recipes and a nice variety.
