Meal No. 334: Creamy Pasta With Asparagus, Parmesan, and Crispy Prosciutto

Stuck away in a folder for several years now has been a 30-minute supper recipe card from the center section of the recipe magazine Cook's Country. Tonight, it finally got taken for a trial run, and the results were mighty fine.

Oh sure: it could use a bit more cream sauce but the flavors were all really nice. I also threw in the remainder of the pine nuts I'd toasted for last night's quinoa.

I also took the extra (extra, but still simple) step of making homemade blue cheese dressing to put on a simple hearts of romaine salad. Instructions for that came from The Joy of Cooking.

And since I've been in the mood to play with dough a bit, I attempted another recipe for making some bread to go along with it all. This one was for honey wheat dinner rolls and was clipped from a King Arthur Flour catalog, quite some time ago.
