Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 red bell pepper, cleaned, seeded and cut into strips (6 ounces)
  • 1/2 pound thin asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 cup sliced button mushrooms (4 ounces)
  • 1 cup grape or cherry tomatoes, sliced in 1/2 (6 ounces)
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup 1 percent milk
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, dissolved in 3 tablespoons water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 large carrot (6 ounces) peeled and sliced into strips with a peeler (about 2 cups carrot ribbons)
  • 3/4 pound whole-wheat linguine
  • 1/2 cup (1 1/2 ounces) grated Parmesan
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley leaves
  • 1/4 cup shredded basil leaves

Directions

Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Cook garlic until soft, about 1 minute. Add peppers and cook until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add mushrooms, asparagus and tomatoes and cook until softened, an additional 5 minutes. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute more. Add chicken stock, milk, salt and pepper and bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer and cook until liquid has thickened slightly, about 5 minutes. Stir in carrot strips.

Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions; drain, reserving 1/2 cup pasta water. Toss pasta with vegetables and sauce. Add pasta water, if necessary, to loosen mixture. Serve garnished with Parmesan, parsley and basil.

    It was alright but it did not seem to have much flavor.

    I liked this recipe, but it was far from perfect. It was quite bland, so much so that I had to add extra salt & a squeeze of lemon juice to brighten it up, also the flour didn't thicken the sauce enough for me so I added a bit of a cornstarch slurry to it. I also added shrimp for a bit of a twist. I liked this recipe as a jumping off point but I don't think I'll follow it exactly.
