Time 35m

Yield 6 cups, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 ounces whole wheat penne
1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1 1/2 cups whole milk
4 teaspoons whole grain mustard
4 teaspoons flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons minced fresh tarragon or 1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon
1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese, divided

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 3 minutes less than the package directions. Add asparagus and continue cooking until the pasta and asparagus are just tender, 3 minutes more. Drain and return to the pot.
  • Meanwhile, whisk milk, mustard, flour, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant and lightly browned, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Whisk in the milk mixture. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, and cook until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in tarragon, lemon zest and juice.
  • Stir the sauce into the pasta-asparagus mixture. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring, until the sauce is thick, creamy and coats the pasta, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup Parmesan. Divide the pasta among 4 bowls and top with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan.

Categories     Salad Dressings

Time 15m

Yield 4 Servings, more (4-6) if served family style, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 lb asparagus, cut in 1 1/2-inch pieces on an angle
2 cups cremini mushrooms (cut in half or quarters depending on the size more of less to taste)
1 small onion, cut in quarters and thin sliced
6 cups bibb lettuce (1 1/2 cups per person)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning
salt
pepper
6 tablespoons plain yogurt
2 teaspoons stone ground mustard (dijon will work, but nearly as good)
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
1 -2 teaspoon milk (used to thin out the dressing, use as much as you like)
salt, to taste (go easy, the cheese is salty)
pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Dressing -- Make this ahead and refrigerate until ready to use. In a small bowl, add the yogurt, mustard and parmesan, salt and pepper to taste and refrigerate until ready to use. If the dressing is too thick for you, add a little of the milk. I usually add about 1 teaspoon, but add more if you like the dressing a bit thinner. Make ahead, it is even better.
  • Asparagus and Mushrooms -- When ready to make the salad, add the asparagus and mushrooms to a small bowl and mix with the olive oil, italian seasoning, pinch of salt and pepper. Toss well and add to a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or not. The parchment paper makes for a quick clean up. Roast in a 425 degree oven, middle shelf for 7-10 minutes. You want the asparagus and mushrooms roasted and slightly tender, but not over done.
  • Salad and Plate -- In a large bowl, add 1 tablespoon of the dressing and toss with the lettuce and onion. Plate about 1 1/2 cups of the lettuce per plate and top with the asparagus and mushrooms. Drizzle the creamy dressing over the salad and serve. ENJOY! This is a simple but very good salad.
