Tips:

  • Choose the right pasta. Short pasta shapes like penne or rotini are ideal for this dish, as they can hold the sauce well. You can also use longer pasta shapes like spaghetti or linguine, but they may be more difficult to toss with the sauce.
  • Cook the pasta al dente. This means that the pasta should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and will not hold the sauce as well.
  • Use fresh asparagus. Fresh asparagus is best for this dish, but you can also use frozen asparagus if necessary. If using frozen asparagus, thaw it completely before cooking.
  • Roast the asparagus. Roasting the asparagus brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast the asparagus in the oven or on the grill.
  • Make a creamy goat cheese sauce. The goat cheese sauce is what makes this dish so special. It is made with goat cheese, cream, milk, and Parmesan cheese. You can also add other seasonings to the sauce, such as garlic, pepper, or herbs.
  • Toss the pasta with the sauce and asparagus. Once the pasta and asparagus are cooked, toss them together with the goat cheese sauce. Be sure to coat the pasta and asparagus evenly with the sauce.
  • Serve immediately. This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become mushy if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Goat cheese pasta with asparagus is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. With its creamy goat cheese sauce, roasted asparagus, and al dente pasta, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new pasta recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
