Pasta with Asparagus & Scallions

Saute onion and asparagus in the oil until asparagus are tender. Remove to a plate. Meanwhile, boil water and cook pasta to al dente.

In a saute pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Slowly whisk in the flour until combined. Continue to whisk and cook until mixture becomes bubbly (about 1–2 more minutes). Add in half-and-half. Cook over medium heat until mixture starts to thicken (about 5 minutes).

Add asparagus mixture to the cream mixture. Heat thoroughly. Slowly add in noodles and scallions; stir to combine. Salt and pepper, to taste. Sprinkle in cheese slowly, stirring. You can use as little or as much as you like.

Serve with additional scallions and Parmesan sprinkled over the top. Change up the veggies using what’s in season by you!

You can also use heavy cream instead of the half-and-half, but this way is a tiny bit healthier for you.
