Baby portobellos, asparagus, cherry tomatoes in a light tomato sauce

Lots of fresh vegetables in a light tomato sauce is perfect for the summer! I usually use pappardelle but it can go on any pasta. It's quick, easy and fresh! 

Baby portobellos, asparagus, cherry tomatoes in a light tomato sauce

You will need:

• 1 bunch of asparagus (chopped in 1 inch sections)
• 1 package of fresh baby portobellos 
• 1 package of cherry tomatoes (halved)
• 3 tablespoons of tomato paste
• 3 cloves of garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar
• salt and pepper to taste

Heat a sauté pan with olive oil. Add garlic  and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, asparagus and mushrooms.  



The vegetables will start to soften and the liquid from the tomatoes will start to form a sauce. Add the tomato paste, brown sugar, salt and pepper. Continue to cook on medium heat. 


Add cooked pasta of your choice to the pan, cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, top with Parmesan cheese and enjoy!!!
