Servings: persons

kosher salt
1 lb penne or 1 lb farfalle pasta
1 lb medium asparagus spear, stems trimmed, cut into 1-1/2-inch lengths
1 large carrot, cut into matchsticks
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
8 ounces sliced prosciutto, cut into bite-size pieces
1 large shallot, sliced 1/8 inch thick
1 garlic clove, minced
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup chicken stock, preferably homemade or 1 cup canned low sodium chicken broth

1
Bring a pot of water to a boil, salt it generously, and start cooking the pasta.
2
Three minutes before the pasta is done, add the asparagus and carrots and cook for 3 minutes (for example, for a 9 minute penne, add the veggies at the 6 minute mark, or for a 14 minute penne, add them at the 11 minute mark).
3
Check the pasta and vegetables to make sure they're cooked through but still have texture, then drain.
4
While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat, add the ham and shallot, and cook until lightly browned, 3 minutes or so.
5
Add the garlic and pepper flakes and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
6
Add the cream, stock, and mustard, and simmer for a minute or two, scraping up any brown bits.
7
Add the pasta and vegetables to the pan.
8
Toss and cook for another 2 minutes, until cooked through and the pasta is coated.
9
Taste for seasoning, add salt if necessary, and serve immediately in warm bowls with grated Parmesan available.
