Preparation
Step 1
In a Dutch oven, add water to a depth of 3/4-inch; add 1/2 tsp. salt to water. Place a steamer basket in Dutch oven; add asparagus. Bring water to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 5-7 mins. or until crisp-tender. Plunge cooked asparagus into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Cut asparagus spears into thirds.
In the work bowl of a food processor, place asparagus, 2/3 cup parmesan cheese, pine nuts, olive oil, garlic and 1/2 tsp. kosher salt; process until almost smooth.
In a large serving bowl, combine asparagus pesto, cooked pasta, tomatoes, and, if desired, asparagus tips. Serve with additional parmesan cheese.
