Tomato and asparagus carbonara

This recipe comes to you from "Cooking Light" magazine; it is called carbonara, but there is no bacon or ham products in it - it is indeed a vegetarian dish.  I just made this tonight - sautee up some olive oil and asparagus, then add the garlic; then add in halved grape tomatoes.  Meanwhile, boil a pot of water, and when it comes to the boil, add macaroni (the recipe called for penne, I put in whole wheat shells).
Turn off the tomatoes and asparagus; let the macaroni cook, and in a separate bowl, beat 1 egg, 1/2 cup grated cheese and salt and pepper (about 1/4 teaspoon each).  Once the macaroni is cooked to your liking, drain it, and working quickly, return it to the pot and add the egg mixture and mix it around thoroughly. The heat from the pasta will cook that egg.
Add in the tomato and asparagus mixture, and voila!  Your carbonara is ready!!

Easiest - and healthiest carbonara I ever made!
