Prosciutto, Asparagus and Parmesan Spaghetti

Sorry I have been a bit slow lately with my blogging. The weather warmed up and I have been busy with other errands/chores. I know no excuses buuuuuuuut key words "warm weather". I can't help myself to enjoy it with a mojito or two. ;)
I have been doing a few pins that has been sitting, waiting, anxiously on my boards on pinterest. I am still doing what I said I would do and do these little obsessions. I have just slacked on blogging about it.

So, for the next entry, I made a recipe called Prosciutto, Asparagus and Parmesan Spaghetti that I really loved. It was so yummy with the salty, prosciutto and then the asparagus and mushroom earthiness, I could eat the whole bowl if I had two empty legs to fill. Since my husband and I are trying to eat better, I had made this dish with a bit healthier ingredients.
I used whole grain pasta and instead of heavy cream, I used 2% milk. Now, using the milk instead of cream, made it a bit runny and did not thicken up so next time I might use a little bit less and see how that works. The prosciutto turns a weird color that I did not expect but still had great flavor. I loved how easy this was to make and how quick it was. I recommend trying it. It would make a great side dish or just a main dish. I used the left overs for a side dish to steak that I grilled and woo it was good. It reheats well in the microwave too. Next time I am going to try it with heavy cream just because I want to and see how the flavors change if any at all. But for now, it is a nice light meal with my changes for the healthier way I did it. Give this one a try with the naughty version (not that its a super naughty meal in the first place) or the little adjustments with a bit healthier rendition I did. Bon Appetite'! 

 Let me know how you liked yours.
