Preparation
Start a pot of water boiling for your pasta. Meanwhile, pour a light coat of olive oil into a sauté pan, then toss in the garlic cloves. When the cloves turn a light golden brown, smash with a fork to break up the cloves. Toss in the red bell pepper, then asparagus and walnuts and cook until asparagus is fork tender (about 5 minutes).

When the water is boiling, follow package directions and cook pasta. Drain and add to your vegetable mix. Sprinkle with Parmesan and serve immediately.
