Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1/2 cup walnuts
  • 8 ounces pasta (any kind will work, but we love fettuccine for this one!)
  • 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2 inch pieces
  • 4 ounces goat cheese, room temperature and cut into pieces.
  • 2 tablespoons grainy mustard
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instruction

  • Cook pasta according to package directions in heavily salted water.  Add the chopped asparagus 3 minutes before the pasta is done, and scoop out a cup of the pasta water before you drain everything.
  • Return the drained pasta and asparagus to the pot.  Add the walnuts, goat cheese, mustard and parsley and drizzle in about 1/4 cup of the reserved pasta water.  Toss with tongs until everything is well mixed and the goat cheese is melty.
  • Keep drizzling in the pasta water until you have a nice light sauce, then divide among warmed plates and serve!
