And if you live somewhere that you can find farm fresh asparagus in early spring, it makes this dish simply to die for! The vinaigrette brings out the tanginess of the red peppers, and the hearty avocados add a modest coating to the fettucine noodles.

I was at a garage sale and found it marked at $30. After examining it, I insisted on plugging it in to make it work. Once the light sensors came on, I had no idea what to do next. So I paid for it.

There are a few simple rules to follow that will have you cooking pasta pleasing meals each and every time. First and most important use plenty of water. Using too little water will make for sticky gooey pasta. You should start with about 4 quarts of fresh cool water. This means take out that big spaghetti pot and stop using your favorite sauce pan. As you portion out the pasta you should cook about 2 ounces per person. Bring the fresh cool water to a rolling boil. Once the water is boiling, but before adding the noodles, add 1 heaping tablespoon of salt for every four servings. Always add the salt to the water. If you wait until the pasta is cooked you will end up with salty noodles. By adding the salt now the pasta can absorb the salt and your pasta will taste better. Finally add the pasta, allow the water to soften the noodles and stir gently. Never allow the noodles to stick to the bottom of the pan.
