Time 1h10m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Nonstick cooking spray
Kosher salt
1 pound whole wheat penne
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups vitamin D fortified 1-percent milk
2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Freshly ground black pepper
2 bunches raw asparagus, bottom trimmed 2-inches and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces (4 cups)
10 slices Swiss cheese
1 cup panko or regular breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Move a rack to the middle of the oven. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a large pot set over high heat bring 1 gallon of water with 2 tablespoons kosher salt to a boil. Add the penne and cook 2 minutes less than the package directions, stirring occasionally. The pasta will be slightly underdone. Use a measuring cup or ladle to remove 1/3 cup pasta water and set aside. Drain the pasta into a colander. Return the pasta to the pot and set aside.
  • Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet set over medium heat. Add the flour and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, whisking constantly. Pour in the milk, whisking constantly until the mixture starts to thicken like heavy cream and then becomes almost pudding-like, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the shredded cheese and whisk until smooth, the sauce will be very thick. Add the nutmeg and season with some salt and pepper.
  • Combine the asparagus, pasta, reserved 1/3 cup pasta water and cheese sauce and toss well. Season with salt and pepper, then transfer to the prepared baking dish and top with a layer of the cheese slices. Cut the remaining 2 tablespoons butter into 1-inch cubes. Sprinkle the panko over the cheese slices, and top with the butter cubes. Bake until the top is golden brown and crisp, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes before serving.

GARLIC ANGEL HAIR SHRIMP



Garlic Angel Hair Shrimp image

This was inspired by one of my favorite restaurant pasta dishes. I keep the lemon separate until the end due to a picky family member, but you could add it earlier if everyone likes lemon. Do not use pre-cooked shrimp and don't overcook the shrimp.

Categories     Seafood     Shellfish     Shrimp

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ (16 ounce) package angel hair pasta

1 bunch fresh asparagus spears, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces

½ pound asparagus spears, trimmed and bottom thirds thinly peeled
3 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • Place asparagus spears into a large skillet, and pour in enough water to cover the bottom of the skillet about 1/2 inch deep. Place skillet over medium heat, bring to a boil, and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until the water has evaporated, about 5 minutes.

  • To make the Swiss sauce, use a good quality Swiss cheese that melts well. Gruyère, Emmental, and Appenzeller are all good choices. You can also use a combination of different Swiss cheeses.
  • To make the angel hair pasta, cook it according to the package directions. Be careful not to overcook the pasta, as it should be slightly al dente.
  • When assembling the dish, layer the blanched asparagus, Swiss sauce, and angel hair pasta in a baking dish. Top with additional Swiss cheese and bake in the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
