After thinking and re-thinking about my entry for Livestrong with a Taste of Yellow 2008 , while I was having my Sunday’s lunch I realized: “My entry is in front of me”. Without realizing it, the lunch that I made just for myself and that I really appreciate was the perfect contribution to Barbara’s Event.

Usually on Sunday I have lunch alone, while my guinea-pig (Paolo) shares some moments with his family. Last Sunday I wanted to cook something special, different by usual pasta. So I put together the food that fridge offered to me.

POLENTA WITH TOMATOES AND ASPARAGUS
Ingredients for one person

Polenta (as much as you like)
3 fresh asparagus
Garlic
Curcuma
Olive oil
200 ml canned tomatoes
1-2 walnuts

Cook for 20-30 mins according to you polenta instructions.Meanwhile, put in pan 2 tablespoons of olive oil, add a little bit of garlic, some curcuma and few rosemary. Add tomatoes and cook for 5-10 minutes.Finally, clean and cut the ending hard part of asparagus.
