Honey Tips
How Honey Is Created
Honey is created when bees mix plant nectar, a sweet substance secreted by flowers, with their own bee enzymes.
Directions
Preheat oven to 450°.
Line a large roasting pan or your broiler pan with foil. Spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Toss tomatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Place on prepared pan. Cut about 1/2-inch off the top of garlic head and peel away any loose papery skin. Wrap garlic in foil and add to pan. Roast for 20-25 minutes until tomatoes are beginning to brown.
Put asparagus and shrimp on top of tomatoes, drizzle with honey and roast about 10 more minutes or until shrimp is pink and asparagus is just tender. Remove garlic from pan. Open foil and let cool for 5 minutes.
Gently stir tomatoes, shrimp and asparagus to combine. Cover with foil to keep warm, set aside. Cook pasta, drain and return to pot.
While pasta cooks, squeeze pulp out of garlic cloves onto a plate. Mash with a fork. Place in a small bowl. Stir in remaining tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, salt and pepper. Pour over pasta. Add tomato, asparagus, shrimp mixture and salt and pepper. Toss to combine.
Serve with Parmesean cheese.
