      Yield: 4 - 6 folks
 
      5 cl Garlic; minced
      1 ts Dried red pepper flakes
      2 ds Hot pepper sauce; up to 3
    1/4 c  Olive oil
      1 tb Butter

           -cut to 1-1/2" pieces

    1/4 c  Parmesan cheese; shredded
    1/2 lb Mostaccioli; cooked,
           - drained -OR-
    1/2 lb Elbow macaroni; cooked
           - and drained
 
  In a skillet, cook garlic, red pepper flakes and hot pepper sauce in
  oil and butter for 2-3 minutes.  Add asparagus, salt and pepper;
  saute until asparagus is crisp-tender, about 8-10 minutes. Add
  Parmesan cheese; mix well.  Pour over hot pasta and toss to coat.
  Serve immediately.

  This would work for the diabetic as side dish.

  Per serving: 1 Starch/bread exchange + 1 Vegetable exchange
  + 1 Fat exchange

  (I always try to make my diet work around the fat, not the fat work
  around me). (The cheese is so close to know how to call it).
