My family really enjoys asparagus and shrimp. We often have this on busy weeknights because its healthy and cooks quickly. —Ehnes Wannetta, Eagle Bend, Minnesota

Ingredients

6 ounces uncooked whole wheat linguine
1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1-1/2 pounds uncooked shrimp (26-30 per pound), peeled and deveined
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
4 wedges The Laughing Cow garlic and herb Swiss cheese
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

In a large saucepan, cook linguine according to package directions, adding asparagus during the last 3 minutes of cooking.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook and stir 6-8 minutes or until tender. Add shrimp and garlic; cook 2-4 minutes longer or until shrimp turn pink. Stir in broth; cook over medium heat 1-2 minutes or until liquid is almost evaporated. Add Swiss cheese, lemon juice, salt and pepper; stir until cheese is melted.
Drain linguine and asparagus, reserving 1/4 cup pasta water. Stir linguine and asparagus into shrimp mixture, adding enough reserved pasta water to moisten pasta. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

This will definitely be a repeat meal....my husband really liked it and he isn't to much on pasta type dishes....didn't have the Laughing Cow garlic and herb so I got just the Laughing Cow plain Swiss and added powdered garlic and Italian herbs...let it sit for awhile...it even came out looking like the picture...I would recommend this recipe
