Ingredients
- 1 pound whole wheat spaghetti or linguine pasta
- 1 bunch asparagus, woody ends removed and stalks cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen peas
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 shallot, sliced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus additional for garnish
- 1 cup diced cooked ham
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Directions
Cook pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water, until al dente, according to package directions. Add asparagus and peas during the last 3 minutes of cooking time. Drain and rinse briefly under cool water. Set aside.
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour to create a thick paste. Slowly whisk milk in to the flour mixture in a steady stream. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring often, to thicken sauce. Whisk in Parmesan cheese until sauce is thick and creamy. Stir in cooked ham; season to taste with salt and pepper.
Add reserved pasta, asparagus and peas. Gently mix to coat pasta in sauce and heat through. Divide pasta between four bowls and top with parsley and Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
