Asparagus is on sale and we were in the mood for pasta (gluten free, of course).  After digging around in the fridge, I found a few more things to toss together in a quick and simple sauce.  It turned out so yummy, I thought I would post it to show how to blend a few ingredients into something fab.  Try different veggies, or mix up the seasonings.  Experiment and play in the kitchen.  You won’t be sorry!
