Pasta with asparagus and Bacon

You will need a pot to boil water, a fry pan, a ladle, and a small 1 1/2 cup bowl.

ingredients:
Chuck eye steaks marinaded and grilled. Cut into small pieces.
6 ounces pancetta or bacon diced.
12 ounces pasta

1/2 lbs Asparagus cut each piece into 3 pieces diagonal lines with the ends cut off and discarded.  The end is usually harder the the tip and has a rough texture.
Fresh Parmigiana-Reggiano Cheese.

Boil enough water to cook pasta. Add pasta and boil for 2 minutes and add cut asparagus. Cook both till the pasta is cooked. Remove with ladle about 1 cup of the pasta water in the 1 1/2 cup bowl. Drain pasta now.

Cook bacon or pancetta till done. (I like mine crispy) Remove meat from the fry pan and reserve 2-3 TBSPs grease. (I know this sounds awesome!)

Now in the pasta pot add your pasta, asparagus, bacon or pancetta, grease, chuck eye and 1/2 cup of reserved water. Mix all together till hot. If mixture seems dry or sticking to pan add more water. You will most likely need more water. Once hot add some fresh grated parmigiana-Reggina cheese. Mix and serve hot!
Once on plate add more fresh cheese! Eat!
