Asparagus Beef Pasta

What’s on your dinner menu tonight? Asparagus Beef Pasta is a winner for dinner. 

We have been stocking up on several things, one of which is ground beef. We have decided to make dinner out of the things we have been buying and the pantry.

Sometimes pasta can leave me feeling gross and this recipe did not. It was super good and not really rich.

We love asparagus at our house, and we are always trying to find new ways to use it. I love roasted asparagus but I never have used it in pasta and never with ground beef.

This recipe was so good, Matt went back for seconds. Give it a try and let us know what you think.
