Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 pound medium pasta shells
2 tablespoons salted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup small broccoli florets
2 scallions, sliced, whites and green parts separated
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 bunch asparagus, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 small red bell pepper, diced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup shredded fontina cheese
1 cup shredded white Cheddar
2 teaspoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • Heat the butter and olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli, scallion whites, garlic, asparagus and bell pepper. Season with the salt and pepper and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Splash in the wine and allow it to reduce for 1 minute. Add the milk and cream and continue to cook until warmed through. Stir in the peas.
  • Toss together the fontina, Cheddar and cornstarch in a bowl.
  • While stirring the sauce, sprinkle in the cheese mixture. Stir until the cheese is completely melted. Bring to a simmer and allow the sauce to thicken, about 1 minute. Add the pasta and stir until well combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning to taste. Garnish with the reserved scallion greens.
