Here is how you make Shrimp with Asparagus and Whole Wheat Penne:

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the pasta (I like penne) and cook according to the directions on the box. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking water.Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over a medium-high flame. Add the garlic and saute for 1 minute. Add the shrimp and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until the shrimp turn pink. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside. Cut the asparagus into 1 inch pieces, add about 1/4 cup of water and microwave, covered but vented, for three minutes. Meanwhile, add the lemon juice, white wine, and the reserved cup of "pasta" water to the skillet. Let simmer until the liquid is reduced by about half. Return the shrimp to the pan and stir in the parsley. Add the drained pasta to the shrimp mixture, tossing to combine. Add asparagus and tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.Number of Servings: 2Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user JANESAYS2006.
