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.

Delicious! I do think you need to add more than 1/2 t salt, though, it's not enough for the volume of the dish and is too bland. Otherwise, it's great. I threw in the veggies I had -- red onion, green peas, broccoli, spinach, tomatoes, and carrots. Well definitely make this again.

That was so good! I added more carrot because one didn't seem like enough. And I added the whole bunch of asparagus. I needed a little extra flour to thicken the sauce, but it was sooo good!
