Asparagus and Shrimp Pasta with Tomato Butter Sauce
There are a lot of things that make me happy in life and cooking is certainly one of those things. Coming home from work and chopping onions or carrots or whatever it is that I’m chopping away at, instantaneously makes me forget about anything that’s stressing me out. It’s like free therapy; people wasting their money away at 150 bucks an hour should really take up cooking. Just a side thought.
Recipe Ingredients
1 pound pasta (preferably something that will catch sauce like Campanelle, Fusilli, or Penne Rigate)

¼ cup dry white wine
½ cup tomato chopped
¼ tsp red pepper flakes
4 tablespoons tomato butter (recipe below)
