I made this other night for dinner and it was simple and delicious for a summer time meal that can be made and ate hot or cold.

1 lb Ziti pasta*
1 lb asparagus, cut into pieces the same size as the ziti
2 T olive oil*
2 garlic cloves, minced
Sea salt & fresh ground pepper*
1 c smoked provolone, diced*
6 slices prosciutto, cut into strips*
handful of basil
*Available at All Things Italian

Cook the ziti for about 8 minutes in a large pot of salted water, put in the asparagus and cook an additional 2 minutes. Saute the garlic in the olive oil in a large pan until it becomes fragrant but don't brown it. Add the strained pasta and asparagus to the garlic and toss. Take off the heat and add salt & pepper, provolone, prosciutto, and torn basil. Toss and the cheese will melt, if the pasta and cheese are too tight add a little of the pasta cooking water to loosen.
