Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

½ (16 ounce) package gemelli pasta
2 tablespoons herb-infused extra-virgin olive oil
½ medium onion, chopped
1 pound fresh asparagus, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 (8 ounce) package sliced mushrooms
2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups 1% milk
⅔ cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, divided
¼ cup shredded provolone cheese
⅓ cup Italian-seasoned bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 7x11-inch baking dish.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; cook gemelli at a boil until flexible but still firm to the bite, about 6 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add onion and stir for 2 minutes. Add asparagus and mushrooms and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms begin to soften and asparagus is bright green, about 4 minutes.
  • Add tomatoes, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Continue cooking for about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Pour the vegetable mixture into a large mixing bowl. Drain pasta and stir into the bowl.
  • Melt butter in the same skillet. Add flour and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture bubbles, about 4 minutes. Pour in milk, stirring briskly to avoid lumps. Continue to stir until sauce thickens and bubbles again, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 1/3 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano and provolone cheese until melted.
  • Pour the cheese sauce over the pasta and vegetables and stir to combine. Pour into the prepared baking dish. Taste and adjust seasonings. Toss remaining Parmigiano-Reggiano with bread crumbs and sprinkle over the casserole.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Pasta and Grains

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for dishes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound short pasta, such as penne
1 bunch asparagus (about 1 pound), tips trimmed, stalks sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
2 cups whole milk
8 ounces cream cheese, cubed
8 ounces sharp cheddar, grated
4 ounces Gruyere, grated

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler, with rack 6 inches from heating element. Brush 4 small (8-ounce capacity) gratin dishes with butter. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil; add pasta and cook according to package directions 1 minute less than al dente. Add asparagus and cook 1 minute more; drain.
  • Meanwhile, heat milk in a medium pot over medium-high until just simmering. Add cream cheese; whisk until smooth. Reserve 1/4 cup each cheddar and Gruyere; add remaining cheeses and butter to pot and whisk until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Add cooked pasta and asparagus; stir to coat. Divide mixture among prepared dishes; sprinkle with reserved cheeses.
  • Broil, rotating dishes once, until pasta is crisp and browned in places, 1 to 2 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality ingredients. Look for ripe asparagus, fresh herbs, and a good quality Brie cheese.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the asparagus and herbs by hand. Just be sure to chop them finely so that they blend well with the other ingredients.
  • Don't overcook the pasta. It should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
  • If you're using a pre-made Alfredo sauce, be sure to add some freshly grated Parmesan cheese to give it extra flavor.
  • Top the casserole with additional Brie cheese before baking. This will help to create a golden brown crust.

Conclusion:

Brie and asparagus pasta casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's creamy, cheesy, and packed with flavor. Plus, it's a great way to use up leftover asparagus. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
