Twirl your fork into a bowl of hearty whole wheat fettuccine noodles bursting with bright citrus and briny olives. This easy 30-minute pasta dish tastes like it comes straight from the Mediterranean coast and is packed full of fresh produce that will nourish you from the inside out. The earthy flavor of crisp asparagus spears is paired with hearty edamame for the perfect combination of substance and crunch. Toasted pine nuts provide subtle undertones of warm nuttiness, but you can easily swap them for your favorite seeds if you’re allergic. Squeeze some extra lemon juice over the top before serving, and you’ll be blown away by how a few simple ingredients can create such mouthwatering flavor.

Not much flavor per recipe…added lots more olives and lemon. Vegetables and goodies have no adherence to the pasta so it’s all at the bottom of a serving bowl.
Certainly looks better than today’s New York Time’s p.3 recipe of pasta and Asparagus! Maybe you planned it that way:)
