\t4 – 8 ounces penne pasta (1 1\/2 c.) I used +\/- 8 oz. linguine
\n\t1\/2\tbunch\tasparagus — trimmed & cut into 3\/4-inch pieces
\n\t3\/4\tcup\twhole milk
\n\t2\tteaspoon\twhole-grain mustard
\n\t2\tteaspoon\tall-purpose flour
\n\t1\/8\tteaspoon\tsalt
\n\t1\/4\tteaspoon\tfreshly ground pepper
\n\t1\tteaspoon\textra-virgin olive oil
\n\t2\ttablespoon minced garlic-I used less
\n\t1\tteaspoon\tminced fresh tarragon — or 1\/4 teaspoon dried
\n\t1\/4\tteaspoon\tfreshly grated lemon zest
\n\t1\tteaspoon\tlemon juice
\n\t1\/2\tcup\tfreshly grated Parmesan cheese — divided<\/p>\n

Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Cook pasta for 6 minutes. Add asparagus and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the pasta and asparagus are just tender, about 3 minutes more. Drain and return to the pot.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, whisk milk, mustard, flour, salt and pepper in a medium bowl.
\nHeat oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant and lightly browned, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Whisk in the milk mixture. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, and cook until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in tarragon, lemon zest and juice.<\/p>\n

Stir the sauce into the cooked pasta and place over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce is thick, creamy and coats the pasta. Stir 1\/4 cup Parmesan into the pasta until combined. Serve the pasta topped with the remaining 1\/4 cup Parmesan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
