Ingredients
8 oz. gf fettucine 3 cups asparagus, diagonally sliced into 1-inch pieces
1 shallot, minced 1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced
3 teaspoons unsalted butter, divided 4 garlic cloves, minced 1 Tablespoon gf flour 1-1/4 cup milk 1/4 cup Gorgonzola, crumbled Salt and freshly ground black pepper 2 Tablespoons toasted pine nuts
Directions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus, cook until just tender. Remove asparagus with a slotted spoon. Transfer asparagus to a bowl of ice water.
Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook about 6 minutes or until al dente. Drain.
While pasta is cooking, melt 1 teaspoon of butter in a medium skillet. Add the shallots; sauté for 2 minutes. Add the peppers; sauté for 3-4 minutes or until tender. Add the blanched asparagus and sauté until heated through. Remove from heat and set aside.
Melt the remaining butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic; sauté for 1 minute. Add the flour; cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Gradually add the milk, stirring well with a whisk. Stir in the Gorgonzola; cook for about 3 minutes or until sauce thickens. Place the pasta in a large bowl, add the sauce, peppers and asparagus. Toss to coat. Garnish with toasted pine nuts and serve.
Tips
To toast pine nuts place them in a dry skillet over medium-high heat. Shake the pan occasionally and cook until pine nuts are lightly browned on all sides.
