Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons finely chopped red onions
2 1/2 cups diagonally sliced asparagus, tough ends removed
1 teaspoon mashed and chopped baked garlic (see note)
1/3 cup nonfat dry milk powder
1 1/2 cups skim milk
1 1/2 tablespoons instant-blending Wondra Flour
2 tablespoons light cream cheese (neufchatel(not nonfat)
2/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
9 ounces cholesterol-free fettuccine pasta
1/2 cup chopped arugula

Steps:

  • Heat a medium-size nonstick saute pan.
  • Remove from heat, and spray with vegetable oil spray.
  • Add onion, and saute until limp--5-10 minutes.
  • Add asparagus and garlic, cover the pan, and turn off the heat (the steam from the onion will steam the asparagus).
  • In a large skillet, combine the dry milk and skim milk, and whisk until blended.
  • Add flour, stir, and cook over med-high heat until thickened.
  • In a small bowl, add 2 tablespoons of this sauce to the cream cheese, and stir until smooth.
  • Return this mixture to the hot sauce.
  • Add parmesan, and stir until melted.
  • Keep hot.
  • If the mixture gets too thick, thin it out with small amounts of skim milk.
  • Cook fettucine according to package directions.
  • Add hot pasta and garlic and vegetables to the sauce in the skillet.
  • Stir and cook over medium-low heat until heated through.
  • Serve garnished with chopped arugula.
  • **NOTE**.
  • To bake garlic, preheat oven to 350. Place a whole head of garlic in a small baking pan. Drizzle one tsp of olive oil over the head, add 1/4 cup of water to the pan.
  • Bake, loosely covered for 45-60 minutes or until soft.
  • The cloves will slide right out, and can ve mashed, chopped or served whole.

This recipe was a great way to use up some leftover asparagus. The sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the asparagus added a nice touch of freshness. I will definitely be making this again.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my sauce turned out grainy. I think I may have overcooked it. But even so, the flavor was still good.

This recipe was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would have preferred a lighter sauce. But overall, it was a good dish.

I'm not a fan of asparagus, so I substituted broccoli instead. It turned out great! The broccoli was cooked perfectly, and it added a nice crunch to the dish.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I made a few changes to suit my taste. I used whole wheat fettuccine, and I added some chopped sun-dried tomatoes and artichoke hearts to the sauce. It was delicious!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my sauce didn't turn out creamy. It was more like a thick paste. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I had to add some extra salt and pepper to the sauce, and I also added some grated Parmesan cheese. Even then, it was still a bit underwhelming.
