Instructions: Serves 4.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Heat 2 or 3 quarts of lightly salted water to boiling in a large pot. Add pasta and cook, uncovered, until al dente.

Drain well; return to warm cooking pot and set aside.

Lightly grease a large baking dish. In a skillet, heat sherry and olive oil and saute green onion, garlic and bell pepper until pepper is soft but not mushy. Add cumin, oregano, basil, asparagus, cherry tomatoes (if used) and snow peas; saute 2 minutes, stirring frequently.

Remove from heat and toss with pasta and Parmesan Cream Sauce. Spoon into baking dish. Bake, uncovered, until lightly browned and bubbling, about 20 to 25 minutes. Serve hot.
