Pretty Crawfish Pasta - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 (16 ounce) package farfalle (bow tie) pasta
    1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2 inch pieces
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    1 small red onion, chopped
    1 red or green bell pepper, chopped
    1 (8 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
    1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
    1 pound peeled crawfish tails
    3/4 cup herbed vinaigrette salad dressing, or to taste
Preparation
    Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add farfalle pasta, and cook until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain. Place a separate pan of water on to boil. Add asparagus, and cook until tender and bright green, about 3 minutes depending on thickness. Drain, and place into ice water to stop the cooking process.
    Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and bell pepper; cook and stir for about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and crawfish tails; cook and stir for another 10 minutes. Add the asparagus and grape tomatoes to the pan, and cook for a couple of minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer to a large serving bowl.
    Mix pasta into the serving bowl along with the vinaigrette dressing. Serve immediately, or refrigerate and serve chilled.
