Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 ounces fusilli
1/2 lb asparagus, sliced
1 cup peas (frozen work great, thaw before using)
1 tablespoon butter
1 garlic clove, minced
1 cup vegetable broth
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/3 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 dash cayenne pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Cook pasta until al dente, adding the asparagus for the last minute of cooking time.
  • Place the peas in a colander, then drain the pasta and asparagus over the top of them (this will just heat the peas without overcooking them).
  • In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
  • Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  • Combine broth and cornstarch, add to pan and bring to a boil.
  • Cook, stirring, until broth starts to thicken, about 1 minute.
  • Remove from heat and add cream, juice, salt, and peppers.
  • Stir to combine.
  • Add pasta and vegetables to the sauce, tossing gently to coat.
  • Serve immediately.

The sauce was a bit too thick for my liking, but the flavors were good. I would try thinning it out with some milk next time.
