Comment préparer Baked Pasta With Asparagus Lemon And Mascarpone
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add asparagus and cook for 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon, immediately rinse under cold water to stop cooking, and drain well.
- Add fettuccine to the boiling water and cook until al dente, about 10 minutes. Reserve about 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
- While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add scallions and sauté for 1 minute.
- Add the cooked asparagus and sauté for another minute.
- Remove from heat and stir in half the lemon zest, lemon juice, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Gradually whisk in milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat, and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Remove from heat and stir in mascarpone cheese, remaining lemon zest, and 1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Season with allspice, cayenne, salt, and pepper.
- In a small bowl, combine remaining Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper.
- Drain the cooked fettuccine and return it to the pot. Add the asparagus mixture, cheese sauce, and toasted nuts. Toss gently to combine. Add a little pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
- Pour the pasta mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top.
- Bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown.
- Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
