Clare, when did expressing your opinion become rude?

To Rude Robin in North Carolina: Suggest you try the boxed mac n cheese at the Dollar Store. It's fast, inexpense and oh so tasty and good for you.

Come on...this recipe has way too many ingredients. It's expensive, and time consuming for a summer dish. How about creating a pasta meal for those people stung by the economy? This dish does nothing for my palate, or my wallet.

Dee-lish! I am alone now and cooking for one is the pits, but this is so good I will make it again. Thanks for the recipe.

Angie, I too make pasta and vegies once a week; each week a different vegie. This is a very good recipe and I will use it often. I enjoyed! Rosemary

Mac 'n' cheese takes a decidedly Italian twist with bow tie pasta and mascarpone cheese. This quick and easy dinner can be on the table in 30 minutes.

 

Servings: 4

Total: 30 mins

Rated:

 

 

Ingredients

8 oz. dried bow tie pasta

1 fennel bulb, trimmed and chopped

8 oz. fresh asparagus spears

1 Tbsp. butter

1 Tbsp. olive oil

1 clove garlic, minced

1/2 cup mascarpone cheese

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (2 oz.)

1/4 cup finely shredded Pecorino Romano cheese (1 oz.)

1 cup frozen peas, thawed

Salt and ground black pepper

1 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh Italian (flat-leaf) parsley

 

Directions

1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water; set aside. Chop fennel into 1-inch pieces. Snap off and discard woody bases from asparagus. Cut asparagus into 1-inch pieces. In a large skillet cook and stir fennel and asparagus in hot butter and olive oil over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes or until nearly tender. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more.

2. Add pasta, mascarpone cheese, and reserved pasta water to skillet. Stir to combine. Stir in mozzarella, Romano cheese, and peas. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to serving dish; sprinkle with parsley.
