This recipe is designed for outdoor grilling, but to make it indoors, simply use a grill pan, or steam the asparagus and sauté the peppers in a skillet coated with cooking spray.
 

Ingredients

10 oz uncooked bow ties   
2 tsp olive oil   
8 oz asparagus, tough ends trimmed   
1 medium yellow pepper(s), cut into 2-inch pieces   
1/4 cup(s) white wine vinegar   
1 tsp sugar   
1 medium garlic clove(s), minced   
4 tsp blue cheese, crumbled   
1 1/2 cup(s) cherry tomato(es), halved   
1 Tbsp parsley, or basil or chives, chopped (optional)   
1/8 tsp table salt, or to taste   
1/8 tsp black pepper, or to taste   

Instructions

  • Cook pasta according to package instructions; drain and toss with olive oil.

  • Preheat grill. Lightly coat asparagus and pepper with cooking spray. Grill over medium-hot coals until tender, about 5 to 8 minutes depending on size. Flip peppers once during cooking. Turn asparagus occasionally so it cooks evenly on all sides. Remove vegetables from grill and let cool; cut into bite-size pieces.

  • Combine vinegar, sugar, garlic and cheese in a small bowl. Toss together with pasta, grilled vegetables, tomatoes and herbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let cool to room temperature before serving.
