Details
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 425 and spray a nonstick pan with cooking spray. Toss asparagus pieces and shallots with 1 1/2 tsp of oil and 1/4 tsp salt. Place on baking sheet and roast in oven for 20 minutes stirring halfway through.
Cook pasta in boiling water following package directions.
Mix 2 Tbsp of the grated cheese with the parsley and set aside.
Drain the pasta but RESERVE 3/4 cup of the cooking water to be used later.
Heat the remaining 1 1/2 tsp of oil in the pasta pot over medium heat and add the garlic stirring frequently until just golden (about 1 minute)
Add the mushrooms, pepper and the remaining 1/4 tsp of salt stirring occasionally until mushrooms are tender about 10 minutes.
Stir in pasta then add the asparagus mixture and 1/2 cup of the cooking water.
Remove pot from the heat and add the ricotta cheese and remaining 2 Tbsp of shredded cheese mixing well to allow the ricotta to melt.
Sprinkle top with the reserved shredded cheese and parsley mixture.
