Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the farfalle and cook until al dente, stirring occasionally, about 12 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of pasta water.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and saute until tender and most of the juices have evaporated, about 5 minutes. Add the asparagus and saute until the asparagus is crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Add the farfalle. Stir in the mascarpone and nutmeg and toss until the cheese coats the pasta, adding the reserved cooking liquid 1/4 cup at a time to moisten. Stir in 1/2 cup of walnuts. Season the pasta, to taste, with salt and pepper. Mound the pasta in a large bowl. Sprinkle with the Parmesan and remaining 1/4 cup of walnuts. Serve.
FARFALLE IN A CREAMY MORNAY SAUCE WITH GOUDA, BACON AND ONION
Steps:
- In a skillet, cook your bacon until crispy. Let drain on a towel. Once cooled, mince, and reserve. Meanwhile in a small sauce pan, melt your butter over a medium heat. Once melted, add in your flour all at once. Cook stirring constantly for 3 minutes. Slowly add in your half and half, whisking constantly. Cook over a medium heat for at least 5 minutes or until it starts to thicken. Once it thickens add in your gouda cheese. Keep over a low heat. In a separate pot, bring water to a boil. Add in your pasta and cook about 10 minutes til al dente. With a perforated spoon, transfer your pasta to your cheese sauce (it's ok if it's not completely drained, the pasta cooking water will loosen up the sauce). Add in your bacon and minced onion. Taste and season further. Serve hot.
BACON MORNAY SAUCE
I tagged I'mPat's recipe #377532 and there was no recipe there for this very tasty, easy to make, sauce so here it is. You could mix it up with the cheese. I used 1/2 Swiss cheese and 1/2 Parmesan cheese. You can use this on noodles, potatoes or rice.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
- Choose High-Quality Ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your dish will taste. Opt for fresh, organic produce, high-quality cheese, and thick-cut bacon.
- Cook the Bacon Perfectly:Crispy bacon adds a delicious smoky flavor to this dish. Cook it until it's crispy but not burnt.
- Use a Good Quality White Wine: The white wine used in the sauce should be a dry wine with a good flavor. Avoid using cooking wine, as it can impart a bitter taste.
- Make Sure the Sauce is Thick Enough: The sauce should be thick enough to coat the pasta. If it's too thin, add a little more cornstarch or flour.
