Roast the asparagus for 10 minutes in a 400° oven. Sooo tasty.
The balsamic butter. I've never cooked a 1/2 cup of vinegar before, but it really cooked down to just a few tablespoons! Then add brown sugar & butter. Mmmmm!
Toss it all together, and top with parmesan. The balsamic butter soaked right into the pasta, and gave it such a nice flavor. Dinner was ready in about 20 minutes!
PS. 23 DAYS! The bombs and "faux" bombs in Ireland are not even a consideration. God save the Queen!
