INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare grill or heat oven to 450 degrees. Toss asparagus in oil;
grill or roast in oven until tender, about 8 minutes, turning once.
(For grilling, use narrow rack or pin asparagus spears together with
wooden skewers to keep from falling through grill rack.) Slice into
1-inch pieces; set aside. Heat butter in large skillet over heat until
it begins to brown. Add morels and shallot; cook stirring often, just
until shallots are tranlucent, about 3 minutes. Add peas, broth, and
marjoram. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover; cook unitl peas
are barely tender. Uncover, add asparagus, and cook until peas are
tender. Toss vegetables and pasta in large serving bowl. Sprinkle with
cheese and onions. NOTES : This easy dish highlights the best of
spring's bounty: asparagus, morel mushrooms, and peas. If it's too
early for fresh peas in your area, substitute frozen. Other mushrooms
can be used in place of morels. Recipe by: Chicago Tribune Converted
