Ingredients:

Serving

8 oz uncooked fettuccine
2 medium leeks (white portion only), sliced
1 tbsp olive oil
1 lb fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1/4 cup plus 6 tsp grated parmesan cheese, divided
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp grated lemon peel

Directions:

Cook fettuccine according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, saute leeks in oil for 1 minute. Add asparagus and garlic; saute until asparagus is crisp-tender. Stir in the peas, salt and pepper.
Drain fettuccine, reserving 1/2 cup cooking liquid. Place ricotta cheese in a small bowl; whisk in reserved cooking liquid. Whisk in 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, lemon juice and peel. Add to the skillet; heat through.
Add fettuccine; toss to coat. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese. Yield: 6 servings.
