What You'll Need

1 pound penne pasta
3/4 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 (8-ounce) bottle creamy Parmesan dressing
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 (12-ounce) package frozen cooked shrimp, thawed
6 plum tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch chunks

What to Do

Cook pasta according to package directions; drain, rinse, drain again, and set aside.
Meanwhile, in a large saucepan over medium-high heat, place asparagus in just enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook 5 to 7 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and allow to cool.
In a large bowl, combine dressing, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper; mix well. Add pasta, asparagus, shrimp, and tomatoes; gently toss until evenly coated. Cover and chill at least 1 hour, or until ready to serve.
