Only 5 ingredients and just a few minutes to prepare if using fresh pasta. I guess you can use regular pasta but it will take a few more minutes. In the recipe, it's Moutarde a l'ancienne. Recipezaar can't find that. Ancienne means old. So I wrote old mustard. The brand Maille has this mustard. Ingredients:
5 ounces frozen asparagus |
1 (350 g) package fresh pasta (fettucini) |
4 ounces cream cheese with garlic and herbs |
1 tablespoon old mustard |
1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted |
Directions:
1. Cut the asparagus in 3 pieces each. In a large saucepan with boiling salted water, cook pasta 2 minutes. Add asparagus and keep cooking for 3 minutes or until pasta are al dente. Drain but keep 2/3 cup of the cooking water. Put the pasta and asparagus back in the saucepan.
2. In a little bowl, with a whisk, stir cream cheese, mustard and cooking water. Pour on the pasta and stir well. Garnish each serving with toasted pine nuts and serve now.
