4 cups cooked fusilli pasta

1 ½ cups asparagus (cut one-inch pieces)

1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes (whole)

½ tsp Luvafoodie Garlic Lovers seasoning

½ cup red onion (sliced in thin pieces)

Olive oil

Fresh parmesan cheese

⅛ cup juice of a lemon (approx. 1 large lemon)

1 lemon zest

¼ cup olive oil

⅛ cup white balsamic vinegar (you can substitute red balsamic vinegar)

1 tsp Luvafoodie Citrus Lovers seasoning

1 squeeze of honey (about 1 tsp)

Cook the pasta according to the directions on the package (approx. 10 minutes to cook once the water is boiling). Drain and set aside in a bowl.

Whisk together the ingredients for the dressing: lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, white balsamic vinegar, Luvafoodie Citrus Lovers Seasoning, honey, and basil.

In a non-stick skillet, add a tbsp of olive oil to the pan. Add the asparagus, tomatoes and Luvafoodie Garlic Lovers seasoning - sauté together over medium heat for 5-6 minutes. Turn off heat and leave in the pan.

Add the raw red onion, tomato and asparagus to the pasta.

Mix the dressing again and pour over the pasta.

Toss all of the ingredients together so the sauce covers all the pasta.

Plate and serve with some fresh grated parmesan cheese on top.
