Instructions

1. Finely dice the onion and chop the asparagus into 1-2 inch (3-5 cm) logs (shorter if asparagus is wider, and longer if asparagus is thinner).
2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a wok or large frying pan on medium heat. When ready to cook, the oil should be very hot, but not so hot that it smokes. Coat all sides of the pan.
3. Add the onion and asparagus to the pan. When the surface of the pan seems dry, add more oil or a splash of water to prevent sticking and burning.
4. When onions begin to brown (after about 5 minutes), add mushrooms, crushed garlic, and spices.
5. Begin cooking gluten free pasta per instructions on package in a separate pot.
6. Continue cooking asparagus and other vegetables/spices until asparagus becomes tender (approximately 20 minutes total).
7. Serve over a bed of gluten free pasta.
8. Optional: Add an additional protein source. We love shrimp scampi!
9. Enjoy!

Notes

Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

For a complete meal, serve vegetables over a bed of gluten free noodles. We love adding shredded parmesan and we highly recommend pairing this dish with our favorite shrimp scampi recipe.

Voila, and bon appetite!
