    •     Kosher salt to taste
    •     Freshly-grnd black pepper to taste
    • 4 Tbsp. Roasted Garlic see * Note
    • 8 x Anchovy fillets rinsed, minced fine
    • 1/2 c. Minced fresh basil
    • 3 Tbsp. Minced fresh parsley

    Directions

    1. Prepare a charcoal fire.
    2. Using 2 Tbsp. of the extra virgin olive oil, lightly oil the asparagus and tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Grill over warm coals till just tender but well marked. Cut the asparagus at an angle into 2-inch lengths and set aside. Coarsely chop the tomatoes and toss with the Roasted Garlic, anchovies, herbs, chile flakes and the remaining extra virgin olive oil.
    3. Cook the pasta in boiling salted water till just al dente. While the pasta is cooking, heat the tomato mix in a large saute/fry pan. When the pasta is done, drain and add in to the pan along with asparagus. Toss to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately, garnished with Parmesan and fried capers, if you like.
    4. This recipe yields 6 servings.
