Dilled salmon pasta with asparagus

Preparation time: 30 minutes

 

2 tablespoons margarine
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 medium red onion, sliced
1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut diagonally into 1-inch lengths
4 ounces smoked salmon, sliced into thin strips
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
16 ounces tubular pasta (such as penne or ziti)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill

Heat the margarine and oil in a large skillet. Add the onion and cook, stirring over low heat until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the asparagus and sauté until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Add the salmon to the skillet. Sprinkle with pepper, and stir the mixture to blend. Bring a large pot of water to boil and cook the pasta until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain pasta and return it to the cooking pot. Add the asparagus mixture. Stir in the dill and toss to blend.
