Noodles And Asparagus

Noodles And Asparagus

6-7 oz. fluffy medium noodles
1 #2 can asparagus bits & pieces, well drained
1 10 oz. can Cream of Celery soup
1 soup can of milk
1 c. shredded mild cheddar
1/2 c. pretty fine fresh bread crumbs
Dots of butter
1 T. diced drained pimento (plus some sliced ripe olives if you like them, we do)
Seasoned pepper, we like Lawrey's

Cook noodles as package directs, drain asparagus, and butter a 7" x 10" or a 9" x9" pan. Mix soup, milk, & cheese. Layer into pan, half of noodles, half of asparagus, and half of soup mixture; repeat. Scatter the crumbs on top and dot with butter. Make an X or a circle or a tree or a bell or whatever on top with the pimento, and add the ripe olive slices too if you are using them. Sprinkle just lightly with the seasoned pepper. Bake at 350 for 35 -40 minutes, until very bubbly and edges are well browned. Serves lots at a pot-luck, about 4 to 6 at home. Easy to double in a 9" x 13" pan.
