When the weather is warm, lighter meals are in order. Try the pasta dish below, which features the star of the springtime garden: asparagus. Then top off this summery salad with a slice of tangy, lowfat cheesecake. Both recipes are from Recipes Remembered, a publication of the Star Journal.

If you have some favorites you’d like to share with others, we’d like to hear from you. Simply email your recipes to [email protected], attention: Timi Eckes. We’ll post new recipes each week, so log on to starjournalnow.com often.

Pasta with asparagus
5 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp. dried red pepper flakes
2 to 3 dashes hot pepper sauce
1/4 c. olive oil
1 T. butter or margarine
1 lb. fresh asparagus, cut into 11/2-inch pieces
Salt to taste
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/4 c. shredded Parmesan cheese
1/2 lb. mostaccioli or elbow macaroni, cooked and drained
In a skillet, cook garlic, red pepper flakes and hot pepper sauce in oil and butter for 2 to 3 minutes. Add asparagus, salt and pepper; saute until asparagus is crisp-tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add Parmesan; mix well. Pour over hot pasta and toss to coat. Serve immediately.
