Ziti With Asparagus, Smoked Mozzarella And Prosciutto

1. 1

   Following the directions on package, cook the ziti in a large pot of salted boiling water. 2 minutes before the ziti is done, add chopped asparagus to the pasta and water. When ziti is done, drain, reserving 1 cup of pasta water.

2. 2

   Heat the oil in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about 20 seconds.

3. 3

   Add asparagus and pasta to the skillet. If needed, add some of the reserved cooking liquid. (I used almost all of it.) Toss to coat.

4. 4

   Add the prosciutto, mozzarella, and basil, and toss to combine. Turn off the heat. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and serve.
