Prosciutto and Asparagus Pasta

"The flavors and textures are wonderful together," Allrecipes Allstar Buckwheat Queen says.

Baked Asparagus and Mushroom Pasta

"Take classic Mediterranean flavors and make American-style comfort food for your family! If you are looking for a meatless meal, serve this with a salad and crusty bread.
