- This is a comfort food type recipe that I found on Eating Well. It is like a super yummy macaroni and cheese with lots of healthy veggies thrown in. It is great served with some garlic breadsticks or a salad. If you would like some meat in it, I suggest ham, shrimp or chicken. Just precook it and add with the pasta and vegetables.
- This recipe makes 8 servings, but can be easily halved for a smaller crowd.
- 12 ounces whole-wheat rotini
- 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 2 cups sliced leeks, white and light green parts only
- 1 pound asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 cups peas, fresh or frozen (thawed)
- 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 cups reduced-fat milk
- 2 teaspoons dry mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
- 2 cups shredded smoked or regular gouda cheese
- 2/3 cup whole-wheat panko breadcrumbs
- 1 c. shredded Parmesan cheese
- 3 T. butter
