in the mood for pasta...ALSO in the mood for some hot italian sausage...how about...pasta tossed with a fennel and shallot sauce with grilled asparagus and pan fried italian sausage??...and maybe a little bruschetta on tartine crostini...with a few italian olives...i'm likin' it!...

for your pasta...fresh garlic...shallot...fresh fennel...asparagus...and hot italian sausage...

take your asparagus...a little extra virgin olive oil...cracked black pepper...a pinch of kosher salt...

and a dash of garlic powder...give it a mix...and in the fridge to marinate for about an hour...

now...give your shallot and fresh garlic a nice chop...

 ...your fennel a nice chop...

in your pan on low...a nice splash of white wine :)!...cook for about 25 minutes...

while your fennel and shallots are cooking...grill your asparagus...bring it in...give it a rough chop...

when your done searing your sausage...cut into nice chunks...

in your pan on medium...toss to heat...

time to eat!
