Categories     Penne

Time 30m

Yield 8-16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb dry penne pasta
1 1/2 lbs fresh asparagus
1 teaspoon olive oil
3 tablespoons butter
5 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
1/4 cup white wine
4 tablespoons heavy cream
1 cup skim milk
2 teaspoons dried basil
4 ounces aged gouda cheese, shredded
salt and pepper
2 ounces walnuts, toasted and chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Prepare pasta according to box directions.
  • While pasta is cooking, wash asparagus, break off the woody stems and arrange on a cookie sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and salt and pepper. Broil for 5-10 minutes until the asparagus is tender (to your personal taste). Once cooked, chop asparagus roughly and toss it with drained pasta in a large serving bowl.
  • Melt butter in a sauce pan and add garlic, sauteing until it is turning golden and fragrant. Remove from heat.
  • Whisk in wheat flour to form a roux, being careful to avoid any lumps. When it is perfectly smooth, add white wine, whisking to incorporate.
  • Return saute pan to the heat, allow alcohol to evaporate (should take about 30 seconds) and immediately whisk in heavy cream.
  • Continuing to whisk, add shredded Gouda and stir gently until it melts. Once melted, add remaining ingredients and bring to temp., or just until the sauce begins to bubble.
  • Pour sauce over pasta and asparagus. Toss and garnish with toasted walnuts, if desired.
