Answers:
Lasagna with Pesto sauce (not tomatoes), mozzarella and asparagus!
Find the pesto recipe on google: it is very easy to cook and it is a cold sauce.
Then you have only to change:
Tomato sauce=> pesto
add mozzarella and asparagus cut
grill some steaks seasoned with sun dried tomatoes and your favorite seasoned potatoes... mmmmmmmmm
grill them up with some olive oil and some grilled chicken roasted peppers, sun dried tomatoes, basil, oregano, Parmesan cheese add balsamic vinegar.
Try this:

Mmm, grill the asparagus and serve with chicken or fish. You can cook that on the grill too - wrap it in foil with herbs & seasonings, maybe a little wine to keep things moist. Rub the asparagus with olive oil and a grind of pepper before grilling.
