Vegging out hasn't been this tasty in a while.

  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 cup low-fat yogurt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp dried Greek oregano
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 lb fresh asparagus (washed, dried and stalk ends trimmed)
  • 8 oz Tinkyada brown rice spiral pasta
  • 1
    Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • 2
    Cover a baking pan with foil; set aside.
  • 3
    Combine lemon juice, water and yogurt in a small bowl; set aside.
  • 4
    In a large bowl, combine oil, oregano and salt; add asparagus and toss until well-covered with oil/herb mixture.
  • 5
    Spread asparagus in a single layer on baking pan.
  • 6
    Bake for 12 minutes.
  • 7
    While asparagus is baking, boil pasta according to package directions.
  • 8
    Serve roasted asparagus over cooked pasta; drizzle with yogurt sauce.
  • Fiber helps prevent heartburn, too, so serve this with slices of whole-grain bread. Also, you can sub in whole-wheat pasta for the rice spirals.
