- 8 ounces dried whole wheat fettuccine or linguine
- 8 ounces fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-1/2-inch-long pieces
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 3 cups sliced fresh crimini, shiitake, or button mushrooms
- 1 medium leek, thinly sliced, or 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/3 cup vegetable broth
- 1/4 cup evaporated fat-free milk
- 1 tablespoon finely shredded fresh basil or 1 teaspoon dried basil, crushed
- 1 tablespoon snipped fresh oregano or 1 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup chopped plum tomatoes
- 1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
- Finely shredded Parmesan cheese (optional)
1. Cook fettuccine or linguine according to package directions, adding asparagus for the last 1 to 2 minutes of the cooking time; drain. Return pasta mixture to saucepan; cover and keep warm.
2. Meanwhile, coat an unheated large nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Preheat over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, leek or onion, and garlic to hot skillet. Cover and cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in vegetable broth, evaporated milk, dried basil (if using), dried oregano (if using), salt, and pepper. Bring to boiling. Boil gently, uncovered, for 4 to 5 minutes or until mixture is slightly thickened. Stir in tomatoes, fresh basil (if using), and fresh oregano (if using); heat through.
3. Spoon mushroom mixture over pasta mixture; gently toss to coat. Sprinkle with pine nuts and, if desired, Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately. Makes 4 servings.
