Recipe Instructions

1/2 pound elbow macaroni -- cooked

and drained

In a skillet, cook garlic, red pepper flakes and hot pepper sauce in oil and butter for 2-3 minutes. Add asparagus, salt and pepper; saute until asparagus is crisp-tender, about 8-10 minutes. Add Parmesan cheese; mix well. Pour over hot pasta and toss to coat. Serve immediately. This would work for the diabetic as side dish. Food Exchange per serving: 1 STARCH/BREAD EXCHANGE + 1 VEGETABLE EXCHANGE + 1 FAT EXCHANGE (I always try to make my diet work around the fat, not the fat work around me). (The cheese is so close to know how to call it).
