Pesto Bacon Pasta with Roasted Asparagus


This salad is good warm or cold!

Pesto Pasta Salad with Roasted Asparagus
1 - 16 oz. pkg. mini Farfalle (bowtie) pasta, cooked according to pkg. directions
1/2 cup pesto (I use a jarred brand.)
1/2 lb. asparagus, roasted with olive oil and salt
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup mozzarella, cubed
10 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
            Heat the oven to 459 degrees.  Wash the asparagus and cut the tough ends off.  Lay it on a broiler sheet and drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.  Bake for 6-7 minutes or until just barely tender.  Remove from the oven and cut into thirds or 2 inch pieces.
 In a large bowl combine all the ingredients.  Add more pesto if desired.  Serve either warm or cold.
